Weekend Writer’s Retreat

(1.2 ceu)

Whether you’re engaged in an ongoing writing project or have always wanted to write, this weekend retreat provides the stimulation and concentration you need. Writing is both a craft and a way of life, requiring inspiration and perseverance. In this two-day writing intensive, you explore writing activities that connect you to your own passion and voice and experiment with exercises that help push your writing to the next level. Using techniques as diverse as meditation and guided visualization, writing prompts, Gestalt exercises, self-dialogue, and depth charges, you explore all facets of the writing process and learn what it takes to find and sustain a regular writing time and recognize the possibilities in your own writing. The weekend includes lecture, discussion, guided writing exercises, and readings by guest writers. Enrollment is limited.
