Jane Brunette teaches and writes about spiritual and creative practices for using challenging times to create a more soulful way of life, both individually and collectively. You'll find more of her writings at her website: flamingseed.com. In addition to being an authorized Buddhist meditation teacher, she is deeply influenced by the writings of the Christian mystics as well as the wisdom of indigenous people around the world, and she has advanced degrees in both writing and counseling psychology.

She guides individuals and groups internationally in writing as an expression of the soul and a tool for expanding self-awareness, compassion and intimate connectedness with others. In-person groups that use soul writing principles are forming in cities around the world with her support, and an online community has just been launched. Join this budding, global circle at writingfromthesoul.net.

Jane's primary focus for the past 12+ years has been spiritual practice. She has spent a great deal of time living simply in India— first working in the slums of Bombay, then learning from Buddhist masters and doing extended meditation retreat in the Himalayas, and finally guiding groups of students on journeys through spiritual India. She has also spent extended periods in Indonesia and South America in order to learn first-hand from other cultures the wisdom they have to share on soulful, sustainable living.

She invites your feedback and participation, both here and on her websites. If you click "email" at the top of this page, you will be notified when new articles appear at The Huffington Post.
