Workshop | Writing Your Roots with Rev. Eileen Mahoney

August 6 @ 9:30 am - 12:30 pm

Join Rev. Eileen Mahoney, expressive arts therapist, writer, and Buddhist practitioner in the Plum Village tradition, for a writing workshop blending the wisdom of nature with the power of words. This half-day program begins with guided forest meditation to ground your senses followed by thoughtfully crafted prompts to spark meaningful contemplation. Whether you’re an experienced writer, budding poet, or a curious soul, this workshop offers a space to explore the natural world, connect with the stillness, and rise up like a rooted tree. 

Rev. Eileen Mahoney is an Interfaith Interspiritual minister who offers workshops and counseling regionally and internationally. She is ordained in Thich Nhat Hanh’s Order of Engaged Buddhism and an initiate of the Sufi Order Inayatiaya. She is also a Certified Trauma Informed Expressive Arts Therapist and Mindfulness Teacher. Eileen’s forthcoming book, Viriditas, the Greening of the Soul, outlines a process combining meditation and the arts with spiritual exploration to refresh and enliven our souls in the face of today’s challenges. She believes that we are meant to live from this “Green” dimension of our being, living fully in our True Selves.
