Bio: Tara Maria Ford, MFA, E -RYT 500, CHWC, has been writing as a meditation for the past 20 years. This practice began for her when she fell into a depression at 23 years old. She started out journaling thoughts, ideas, feelings, but realized she was just repeating herself. So she immersed herself in meditation before and during writing. The more she honed her practice, the more she was able to truly quiet the narrating mind and sink deep into her body and unconscious. It helped her learn so much about herself and what was most important to her so she could align with her core values in everything she does. She is honored to share this practice with you!

Testimonial:

“Tara’s workshop is unlike any other I’ve taken. She has a capacity for attuned listening and responding that helps students become more sensitive to their own experiences. This new level of sensitivity enriched my creative expression in a way that gave more vitality to my writing (and my life!).”
