5.0 out of 5 stars Ususally taboo in writing groups, June 13, 2000
By Sybil Y. Reisch (Rochester, NY) - See all my reviews
This book made me want to start a small writing group of my own. In a class such as this I could talk about that which is most important to me, and which is usually taboo to discuss. The author included many examples of the results of the writing exercises. These were based on eight sessions, focusing on childhood, adolescence, a friend/mentor/guide, and a roadmap of one's spiritual journey. The first four sessions involve drawing exercises that evoke memories and lead to discussion, writing and reading of brief papers about spiritual experiences. The last four sessions involve reading and hearing full 8-10 page spiritual autobiographies. The author insists the most important qualities the leader can have are: respect for the individuality and worth of each participant; humility before the awesomeness of each person's life process; and appreciation of the gift of sharing it. I read this book in anticipation of writing the story of my spiritual journey with our son with Down's Syndrome. Jeff had a profound effect on those who knew him. I believe I could build my chapters following this blueprint.
