Description

In the City Center Dining Room
Tuesday, June 23–Wednesday, June 24, 10 am–4 pm

Everyone is already experienced. We are always beginners.

Dip into nourishing wells of words and silence.

Fuel up with poetry and quietude, allowing them to replenish one another. A writing circle of the encouraging kind! We will share beloved poems, writing in response, discussing process and particulars, finding first drafts, lines and images, listening to one another, with language springing up from many voices, and shared daily meditation. Resonance, resilience, simplicity, interviews and a writing walk too!

Please note that this retreat is two days and the retreat fee includes lunch.
