In episode 16 of The Yogapedia Podcast, we're talking with international published poet and writer, and mindfulness meditation expert, Albert Flynn DeSilver.
In This Interview: Writing as a Path to Awakening
DeSilver is an American poet, novelist and meditation teacher. He received his Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of Colorado and his Master of Fine Arts from the San Francisco Art Institute. His writing has been published in hundreds of literary journals across the world.
DeSilver is also the founder of Writing as a Path to Awakening, which is an embodied approach to creativity and writing. DeSilver runs workshops and retreats that aim to rekindle one's writing process by bringing more joy and spontaneity in the practice of writing.
DeSilver has been practicing meditation for over 20 years and was trained as a meditation teacher at the Spirit Rock Meditation Center in California. DeSilver merges the art of writing with mindfulness meditation, which he discusses in his book "Writing as a Path to Awakening," based off his workshops of the same name.
Listen in as we discuss with DeSilver how writing can be a path to awakening and learn about how meditation can benefit our writing practice.
