writer author workshops and travel

Writing workshops are offered in three varieties:

Writer's Block

We apply our hearts step-by-step, task by task, to dismantle the self-limitations in our heads
and free our writing
and artistic souls.

Project Workshops

We work personally with each workshop participant, both in the planning and registration phase, as well as while at the workshop.

Here You Begin

Are you looking to create your own work? Are you starting over in a life that feels like an 'omnishambles'
at the moment?

Our Workshops

1.

Writer's Block:
3-day intensives, locally or on-location in beautiful venues, or soon to be offered online. Or offered through Coaching/Mentoring.

Explore the nature of your block and get to work — gently— on meeting the page, break through the wall, all within a few supportive days with others similarly struggling. Receive encouragement that you are going in the right direction. Share in feedback of your work (only if you wish).

We apply our hearts, step-by-step, task by task, to dismantle the self-limitations in our heads, and thereby free our writing and artistic souls. And then we work on paper!

Have faith: It works.

Please contact us about scheduling one in your area.

Attending one is a great reason to travel and take time for your Artist-self! See more about our series of Explore / Write/ Be workshops by clicking here.

2.
Project Workshops:
Long weekend intensives to 1 week on location and soon to be offered online:

Bring a project you are aching to start, or determined to finish. Enjoy hours of inspired work-time without the distractions of home and life, while also receiving an Editor's fine eye and heart-felt encouragement with built-in one-on-one sessions on the work as it proceeds during the workshop.

Choose to get feedback from fellow attendees or simply enjoy story hour with us in the evenings. Sequester yourself away to work or take café-time to turn over plot complexities with an understanding new friend.

Exercises and work-outs are provided to help strengthen your voice, POV, characters and narrative/story. In the case of non-fiction, enjoy one-on-one coaching to get to the dazzle and strength of voice of the project and leave behind the boring and predictable. Dazzle and strength is a lot easier to sell than boring.

Please contact us about scheduling one in your area.

Here You Begin Workshops

These are online, or one-day, weekend, or mini-break workshops to help you discover your passion, your purpose, and to create your own work — the work only you can do and which you are here to do.
Attending a workshop, or undertaking a few one-on-one sessions, is a great way to get started with focus, excitement, and solid, task-oriented steps to create Your work here. It's why you are here!

A workshop is the perfect way to start over in life, no matter where you find yourself today!

Your paid attendance in a workshop or one-on-one gives a free workshop place at special workshops held for houseless folks, returning Vets, or under-served women and teens needing a re-start in life.

We apply our hearts step-by-step, task by task, to dismantle the self-limitations in our heads
and free our writing
and our artistic souls.

And then we work on paper!
Have faith: It works.

We work personally with each workshop participant, both in the planning and registration phase, as well as while at the workshop.

This is not a "sign-up, oh no!" experience for you. Promise.
