grateful to myotai for offering A year of Zen... an opportunity to show up each morning and just write. i appreciate the concise open prompts...a gateway into generative writing. the format allows letting go of the idea of "good" or "not good enough" and fosters movement and flow of words and language...a practice.

Bonnie Myotai is a subtle and inspiring teacher. These podcasts are warm, encouraging and take my practice deeper. I studied with her when she taught in NYC and in the Catskills, and am so grateful to find her podcast. The short-form is really nice: sometimes I do the writing exercise, sometimes I just sit with what she’s brought up. Really helpful. And, I am soothed by her voice, too.
