Register for this year's workshop by this Sunday, September 12.Īvailable Spots: 7* (See note below on registration details) This is a small, intimate workshop with continuing participants, so enrollment is limited. The main requirement is that you be open to the organic approach and nature of the class, given the technical limitations of online classes. Weekly writing prompts and exercises will be given to initiate the writing process and to keep the creative juices flowing. Our weekly workshops will provide a communal and open space for the mutual sharing, encouragement and support of our workshop participants’ stories and poems with respect and discretion for confidentiality. That is the transformative and healing power of writing. It is through the archaeology of self-discovery and the moral honesty, clarity and objectivity of our voices that we come to know the past in light of the present. The craft is to clear away the smoke and fog of distracted thinking in order to allow our stories to emerge and speak to us and through us. It’s the process of summoning up the courage to uncover the elusive truths in our stories, which like stars, are always there, but which often remain hidden, obscured or forgotten, until the spark of our imagination and memory illuminate them. Art creates a space for our human sensibilities to open up and it is the task of the writer to maintain a sense of surprise at what he or she learns in the process of writing. The purpose of art is to discover something new in the midst of everyday life. Language is not an instrument for exploring the past, but rather a medium.
