THIS WORKSHOP IS SOLD OUT. WE DO STILL HAVE SLOTS AVAILABLE FOR OUR WRITING & YOGA RETREAT ON MAY 2OTH.

A day-long writing intensive in a beautiful setting on a 30-acre farm. Write, dream, plan, share, and learn more about saying more with less. Explore short, flash, and micro-nonfiction, and how to transform even quotidian experiences into compelling prose.

+ workshops to generate short prose ideas and identify key themes, details and imagery

+ reflective outdoor time to walk through the farm’s gardens, fields or dirt roads

+ optional work sharing and feedback

+ wrap-up Q&A.
