What's been sleeping, and what’s now stirring? And what can we spring into action in our writing?
The past few years have been marked by great changes for all of us: fears of plague and war and climate disaster, moral panics about woke culture, political upheaval, social isolation, personal loss. But nightmares are followed by the possibility for facing down our fears, and seeing and doing things anew. How might writing play a role in our lives?
Drawing on the powers of the four elements, in this workshop we'll look for fresh inspirations in the ideas of sleeping and waking. As we gather again to write together, let's sharpen our awareness and reawaken our imaginative purpose.
This workshop will include:
preparatory readings and writing exercises (optional) - we’ll contact you a couple of weeks before the workshop with these
in-class discussion, meditations, and writing
teatime with the book doctor: opportunities to raise questions about writing and publishing over tea and cake
follow-up notes, including writing experiments, reading suggestions, and resources on writing and creativity
