A135 Wellness: Seeking Delight: A Practice of Rigorous Witnessing

Level A – All levels welcome.

Sometimes encouraging good mental health is as simple as seeking delight in what you are already surrounded by, so we will delve into the practice of rigorously witnessing our world and mindfully acknowledging those delights we find through writing. Through prompts, exercises, and an introduction to the essayette form, and various other examples, you will generate your own vignettes of delight a la the author, Ross Gay. The course will culminate in a final workshop where we will have an opportunity (if you choose) to share our delights.
