Discovery Writing: Creating A Future
For 15 years Discovery Writing has been helping people to hear and trust their own knowing, in order to create a life of their own choosing.
This six-session class uses a simple “listening-writing” process as a way to explore what you truly desire; it is also a path to follow in creating your future.

Intentional Living-Meaningful Work SM
For ALL who are Interested:
Intentional Living—Meaningful Work
The idea of living with intention and working with meaning speaks to the heart, soul, and imagination. When I created this class ten years ago and began teaching it through the Compleat Scholar, I had no idea it would grow more relevant with each passing year. This year, for the first time, I will offer the class in the spring and I would love to have you join us.
Description: Poet Mary Oliver asks, “Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?” Using this question as a place to begin, you are invited to examine the way you are living and working. Consider other questions too—Is this all there is? What are my true needs? How is my life being consumed? What's worth doing? Grapple with these ideas and more through personal reflection, group discussion, interactive exercises, a little writing, and optional outside reading. The group provides a supportive and stimulating environment that encourages personal responsibility for informed, conscious choice.
Class will be held on the following Wednesday evenings on the St. Paul campus of the University of Minnesota: May 14, 21, 28 and June 4. Preregistration is required.
To register, call the Compleat Scholar office at 612-624-4000 or visit the web site www.cce.umn.edu/scholars. You'll need the six-digit Event ID 181352.
Intentional Living—Meaningful Work ongoing group
September 2008 to May 2009
Here's something to look forward to next fall. I'll begin another nine-month group that will meet once each month from September through May. This group is open to anyone who is interested in exploring “living with intention and working with meaning,” whether or not you've taken the class. Our focus will remain paying attention to our lives and to what we are creating.
The group will meet from September to May on the second Wednesday evening of each month from 6:30-8:30 p.m. at my office in the Midway neighborhood of St. Paul. Look for more details in the August newsletter.
