Writing as Presence | Sarah Selecky

How to slow down, get honest, and write what’s actually alive
1

This week on the pod, we’re joined by writer and teacher

for a beautiful, funny, and surprisingly deep exploration of writing as a contemplative practice.

Sarah teaches writing as presence. As a way of being and noticing. She helps writers get out of their own way so that something real and alive can come through the page (or the google doc 😅).

Together, we explore:

  • the overlap between writing and meditation

  • how honesty transmits (and why you can feel when a writer is lying)

  • the difference between trying to write and being a clear channel

  • creative shadow work and what we’re most afraid to say

  • the value of plain, unadorned description

She guides us through three simple exercises that can unlock creative flow.

By the end, we were lol’ing, moved, and filled with the kind of wonder that has no agenda. Just a pen, a page, and the shimmer of real presence.
