Explore or rediscover your love of writing! Whether you’re just beginning to dream about getting those old journals out again or are considering submitting your work for publication, join us to spend time writing together, trying out new ideas, and getting feedback about your fiction, nonfiction, or poetry.

Discover how to awaken and transform your creativity through writing prompts and mindful awareness practices in the peace filled setting of the Christine Center. You’ll have time to relax while learning to combine the art of paying close attention with writing that deepens every experience. Give your true voice space to roam and reawaken your intuitive self through guided written exercises, discussion, and reflection.

Appropriate for beginning writers as well as those with more experience, all that is necessary is the curiosity to listen deeply to yourself, the desire to pay close attention to all that is around you, and a willingness to explore your imagination. We’ll utilize techniques proven to enhance creativity, create opportunities to gain insights, and take time to write in a safe and nurturing environment. Any sharing of class writing is completely optional.
