Workshop Overview
This workshop offers writing exercises that enable creative expression as well as group discussion of the writings. Be prepared for in-class writing as well as outdoor silence. The focus is on the nature of place, the relationship of the person with the land. This is a workshop for all ages and designed to encourage writers with and without experience to develop new visions and expressions of the written word. The writers will work in all genres with special attention being given the process of writing and not the final product. Be prepared to share the new work that emerges from this workshop with one another.
