Spiritual Writing
TOPIC
We are thrilled to offer you this pre-recorded conversational class with Lodro Rinzler about Spiritual Writing. Lodro has been wanting to teach this topic, and thought our community was the perfect place to start!
Whether it’s book writing, dharma talks, personal journaling, or student reflections, spiritual writing is its own kind of self-reflection and communication. In this class, we will dive into what that means, and how we can use spiritual writing as a tool on our journeys as healers. There are a lot of resources and book recommendations in this class we think you’ll love!
Exclusive to Holy Shift.
