Writing Home: A Whole Life Practice will guide you on a pilgrimage to find the meaning of home, by which I mean your unique place in the world, using the five creative awareness practices mentioned above to acknowledge, access, let go of, integrate and live your new story.

Part I is “Writing on Your Own” with inspiration to begin and sustain writing as a physical and spiritual practice.

Part II is “Writing in the Circle” including circle guidelines as well as “The Ten Creative Components of the Circle”.

Part III consists of seven exploratory stages, in the form of seven chapters, related to the seven chakras, with personal essays, poetry, letters from women who have participated in my writing circles (which began in Toronto in 1997), writing prompts, ideas for visual exploration, and suggestions for movement and meditation. Each chapter has guidelines for working on your own or in a circle with others.

The chapters of Part III of Writing Home: A Whole Life Practice are as follows:

  1. At The Threshold;
  2. The Longing for Home;
  3. The Sacred Call;
  4. Departure: Leaving Home to Find Home;
  5. The Pilgrim’s Way;
  6. Arrival: At Home in the Body; and
  7. Bringing Back the Boon.

Endorsements of Writing Home: A Whole Life Practice:

Devoting time to a personal writing practice is an act of self-affirmation, love, and spirituality.  If you long to "write" yourself home, to unveil or rejoin the genuine, soulful, "you," Mary Ann Moore's study of this "whole life practice" lays out a path for you to follow. It meanders, delightfully, through stories, poetry, and prompts - countless ways for you to surrender, cross thresholds, dive deep, hear, see, feel and dream your way home. Like me, I think you'll find the stories that define your life and the shaping of you are simply the best gift you could ever give yourself.

I have done writing circles with Mary Ann Moore and I have just completed this very unique and wonderful writing practice that Mary Ann has developed. If you have thought about writing your own story and writing as spiritual practice, this guided practice is a wonderful way to find some support from a very gifted writer and writing mentor.
