Creative writing, engaged with intention, is rife with invitations to open our eyes, widen our hearts, and strengthen our voices. We are created as we create. How can we open our hearts to the movement of the Sacred during the writing process? This week-long retreat will offer serious writers time to dive into creative solitude, be supported by a writing community, and receive guidance from an experienced author and instructor. Each day will include three hours of instruction and conversation. We’ll practice “living the questions” on the page, exercising forgiveness as we generate, seeing with new eyes and releasing old attachments when we revise, and cultivating love as we reframe the writing process as a means for spiritual growth. Participants will have abundant time to write and an opportunity to meet one-on-one with the instructor.
Price: $625
