The {W} Workshop — a writing workshop for highly creative people
July 24, 2015 @ 3:00 pm - 6:00 pm EDT
The {W} Workshop is a writing workshop for highly creative people who feel called to dig deeply into a discovery process. In class, we will practice deep listening skills and call on practical and spiritual tools to geared toward creating clarity and confidence creative writing. You need not come to class with a particular project in mind; perhaps you just have an idea or an inkling of an idea you’d like to explore. You will come away with tools to help you through blocks, “stuck” moments that may arise, and most importantly move your work in the world forward.
$45 per workshop or $125 for all three workshops. All payments made via paypal. Contact jillian.brie@gmail.com to register.
