This is your one precious life. Write your way through it.
Join Elephant's founding Editor-in-Chief, Waylon Lewis, for insight on writing, life, Buddhism, and Haiku with Natalie Goldberg, author of the most popular how-to-write book ever, Writing Down the Bones.
What's covered in the course?
Writing as practice.
Writing is more than a book deal or a published article or a prophetic diary. It's something we can commit to in our daily life, and learn from, and grow into. It's a practice.
Haiku.
A haiku is far more than three simple lines—but it's far less, too. Waylon and Natalie discuss the possibilities of this form, and why it might be a good place to start.
Buddhism & Everyday Life.
From impermanence to mortality to the infamous Beat Poets like Kerouac and Ginsberg, Waylon and Natalie explain how writing & wakefulness tie it all together.
