A Feral Writing Retreat
April 2-4, 2012
Serenbe Inn and Retreat Center

This three-day, two-night immersion invites participants to revisit long-worn narratives and find fresh entry-points and pathways to develop and deepen these stories. We will begin mid-day on Monday the 2nd and finish by 1 p.m. on Wednesday the 4th. Activities include facilitated writing sessions, group work and one-on-one brainstorming and feedback. In addition, there will be a follow-up editorial session (over email or phone) with each participant. Cost is $435, which includes shared lodging. A commuter option is available for $245. Additional meal plans are available. Workshop is limited to 20. The deadline to register is Friday, March 23, 2012. Visit the "Register" page to sign up.
SQUAM ART WORKSHOPS
September 12-16, 2012
Squam Lake, New Hampshire
This four-day retreat offers a mix
of painting, sewing, photography, writing, food styling,
jewelry-making, and screen-printing classes I will be facilitating a one-day writing workshop, "Raw Matters." In this class, we will play with
our senses, share personal narratives, and interact with a variety
of materials to tease out new writing. We will first spend time
gathering inspiration from items I will provide or personal keepsakes participants can bring. We will then return to the group
and share a bit about why we chose what we did, as well as some of the
stories these inspirations are sparking. I’ll provide a series of short
writing prompts that will build on these sparks, and we will continue
gathering to read and reflect throughout the day.
I will offer a
keepsake box for each participant, as well as miscellaneous materials
including
art papers, fabric swatches, letters, signage, quotations, shopping
lists and
other ephemera, newspapers, and books that can be torn apart and used in
participants work. Go to www.squamartworkshops.com to learn more and to register.
