Synopsis

It's about learning how to unlock your creativity, how to let language work through you and begin dancing across the page. Emerging out of the Wolf at the Door writing workshops taught in many FWBO centres and elsewhere worldwide, Writing Your Way helps us to see writing as a transformative tool in our search for wholeness. Manjusvara (David Keefe) expertly guides us to the heart of writing as well as to aspects of Buddhism, with writing exercises that delicately weave in teachings on mindfulness and compassion, freedom and openness.

About the Author:

Manjusvara (David Keefe) began writing music from an early age and it was song-writing that first got him interested in poetry and writing. Studying musical composition, he went on to write music for films, dance and the theatre, including the Royal Shakespeare Company. A practicing Buddhist, he is also a published poet and essayist as well as publisher, publishing the poetry of Robert Bly and William Stafford. Manjusvara is co-leader of Wolf at the Door writing workshops based on Buddhist practice and, using many of the methods outlined in this book, teaches regularly throughout Britain, Europe, North America and Australasia.
