Let’s celebrate spring by learning to stalk stories! Come play in this generative workshop meant to teach you how to circle the story until it reveals itself to you. We’ll use our intuition to follow images and the crumbs of stories and learn to allow words to rise to the surface and spill onto the page through a series of exercises meant to both surprise and inspire.

Sunday, July 20th - Writing Wild: Wilding Your World
With summer in full bloom, we’ll take our cue from the abundance of wildflowers and baby birds, seasonal thundershowers and flourishing gardens to learn how to inhabit our wild selves both on the page, with each other, and in the stories we both create and tell. Become an animal in landscape or a cloud blown on the wind, spend time inspecting the woodpecker-tattered bark of an aspen or examining the tendrils offered by moss to learn to engage your senses and fill your inspirational cup. Join me for exploration and generative exercises.

Sunday, Sept 14th- Writing Wild: Ritual - 10-3:30 pm
As we prepare to enter enter fall, this daylong workshop focuses on not only helping your understand your own writing rituals (best times + places for inspiration, how to keep coming back to writing over and over) in order to help you feed your creative self, but also on inspiring some new ones. Plus, we’ll take a deep dive in the mystery with an intuitive inspiration hike and using tarot cards to help us access images, stories, poems swimming in our subconscious bodies.
