Join Our Monthly Open Meditation The world is presented to us so loudly that we are constantly drawn away from the depth of our own life. This monthly space of love and practice is a place to come back. We sit together in stillness and awareness, and relearn the quiet heart that never deserts us.

Woke at five and wrote for hours on a piece that is rewriting my entire existence as an author. Whether the piece when done - and I’ve got a long time frame - is releasable or not… it’s like a new author’s heart is being born out of my old one and it’s fire.

Publishing often pigeonholes writers of colour within racial boundaries. But new platforms like WritersMosaic Quarterly are creating vital space for unbounded expression, experimentation and literary freedom, writes Ella Sinclair.
