Novelist, TV Writer, and Writing Teacher
Two weeks ago Studio West, Sherman Oaks was filled with the magic of Amy Ferris and all the fearless women who wrote their truth in Amy’s HerShops. Yesterday Studio West hosted the glorious yoginis and writers taking The Alchemy of Healing, a gentle yoga/writing workshop (with Ann Braden and me.) Ain’t life grand?! (More photos to come)
A mind, body, spirit workshop byAUTHOR/WRITING TEACHER: LINDA SCHREYER
and
GENTLE & THERAPEUTIC YOGA TEACHER: ANN BRADEN
on Saturday, October 1, 2016 from 10 a.m.- 5 p.m.
“There is a crack in everything, that’s how the light gets in.”
-Leonard Cohen
“The Alchemy of Healing” was inspired by the art of repairing pottery with gold or silver lacquer and understanding that the piece is more beautiful for having been broken.
Through a powerful blend of meditation and movement accessible to everyone, writing exercises, group sharing, and discussion we will dive deep into the stories that live inside us and are waiting to be told.
Linda and Ann invite you to move, breathe, laugh, and write, using your mind, body, and spirit in this enlightening workshop.
There will be a delicious catered lunch provided by
Executive Chef Daniel Marcus of Sequoia Catering Company (www.sequoiacateringcompany.com).
Please join us for an inspiring experience that stays with you long after you return home.
Tuition for the day: $200.
Includes food for the goddesses, a catered lunch by Sequoia Catering.

How I love these gorgeous women who came to the second-ever Alchemy of Healing Workshop yesterday. We chanted in Sanskrit and Hebrew, wrote without fear, practiced gentle and restorative yoga with Ann Braden and made magic together. The colors of my mother’s paintings brightened by the hour. By day’s end we were sisters. #Howthelightgetsingetsin #amwriting#amteaching #alchemyofhealing
When Ann Braden and I decided to create a yoga/writing workshop – The Alchemy of Healing – we wanted to begin a practice of celebrating the cracks within us and filling them with gold. Today, we received this exquisite song from Patty Paul. It broke my heart and then filled the cracks with gold.
Peter Mayer’s ‘Japanese Bowl.” Please listen…
