Natalie Goldberg: The Mind of Writing

“There’s an integrity to mind if you watch it.” In this fresh talk, Natalie Goldberg shares about giving space to her grief, about her high school friend Phyllis, about time, about watching Katagiri Roshi’s mind, about teaching teachers in North Dakota, about poet Jimmy Santiago Baca, about Dogen, about neurodivergence, about Faulkner. Natalie is alive and so is her talk—it organically unfolds, each story propelling the next. The talk helps us to experience what it is to drop below discursive thinking, to experience the mind of writing through the vibrant details and stories Natalie shares with us.
