Episode 559 - Laura Munson - Uncovering The Wild Why, We Get Stumped and We Overcome Our Inner CritterFounder of the Top Ranked Haven Writing Retreats“I’m so glad you are here. Thank you. You are a very large part of why I write —why I sit at the intersection of heart and mind and craft that is the writing life.” Laura MunsonNew York Times Best Selling AuthorYou complete the trajectory that begins at my writing desk and longs to land in your hands as you spend an hour in bed reading in the wee hours, or on your commute, or in a quiet corner on a Sunday afternoon. It’s you who I want to reach, and it’s you who makes my work whole. Writing is a solitary act, and I believe that we write first to bridge to ourselves SO THAT we can bridge to our collective human community. I deeply love that something I write in a small room in Montana can cross oceans, mountains, transcend social groups, age, religion, difference. Heart language is heart language. And I have learned in my thirty years of living the contemplative life that writing is one thing if it is anything: truth. We writers disrupt. We question. We examine. We wonder. And most of all, we hold up the mirror to truth.https://lauramunson.com/haven-writing-programs/Helping Authors:Find Their Voice, Find Their Narrative​, Find Their MotionThe Book: The Wild Why - Stories and Teachings to Uncover Your WonderFor fans of Brené Brown’s Daring Greatly, Glennon Doyle’s Untamed, and Elizabeth Gilbert’s Big Magic, this illuminating self-help tool is the perfect book for anyone who yearns to rekindle their own voice.What is wonder?Wonder is curiosity and awe put together.
