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.

2009 Discovery Writing Yearlong Group
It's time again to consider joining the yearlong Discovery Writing group. If you are a former Discovery Writing student, you are welcome to join the 2009 group, either for the first time or as someone returning. If space remains, the group will open to individuals who are new to Discovery Writing and interested in the listening-writing process.
We'll meet for the first time in January and then monthly through December, always on
the 2nd Monday evening of each month from 6:30-8:30 p.m. at my office in St. Paul. The cost is $120 per quarter, payable in any month of the quarter. The group requires a one year commitment and is limited to 8.
If you have any questions, I'll be happy to talk with you about what to expect. If you decide to participate, contact me to add your name to the group, and then go ahead and pencil the 2nd Monday evening on your 2009 calendar.

January 12, February 9, March 9

Intentional Living-Meaningful Work SM
celebrating its 10th year
For ALL who are Interested:
Intentional Living—Meaningful Work Group
The idea of living with intention and working with meaning speaks to the heart, soul, and imagination. When I created this class over ten years ago and began teaching it through the Compleat Scholar, I had no idea it would grow more relevant with each passing year. Once again, the class will be offered 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 Thursday evenings at the Continuing Education and Conference Center on the St. Paul campus of the University of Minnesota: April 9, 16, 23, 30 from 6:30-8:30 p.m. Preregistration is required.
To register for Intentional Living—Meaningful Work, you will need to call the Compleat Scholar office at 612-624-4000.
