Writing with “The Four Agreements”

In this class, you'll take four meditative and poetic steps. Each week, we will explore an agreement, a meditation, and a poetic form in collaboration with The Four Agreements: A Practical Guide to Personal Freedom by Don Miguel Ruiz. We will journey through the four poetic steps: praise poem, ghazal, the bop, and the ever-popular list poem.
