Our Workshop
Please note: this workshop has now passed
How do we write about what we care about?
How do we express ourselves with courage during these challenging times?
We’ll spend five full days together, in the beautiful surroundings of Sunset Lodge. We’ll have a morning and afternoon writing session each day, along with free time to swim or canoe or stare at the sky.
In a supportive setting, we’ll find and tell our stories. We’ll use meditation and informal writing exercises to help get the creative juices flowing. Playing with words together, we’ll turn stumbling blocks into stepping stones. We’ll surprise ourselves and each other.
No experience necessary, in either writing or meditation. You can’t do it wrong.
Bring pen, notebook, and an open mind.
