We’re excited to welcome back poet and writing coach James Crews as the teacher of a new six-week long writing workshop we’re hosting in August and September.

In this generative workshop we'll explore the daily practice of radical gratitude, embracing our lives just as they are, and the world as it is, through the act of writing. We'll also dive into what it means to create “embodied" works that can bring us out of our heads and back into our physical, felt experience of the world again.

***

When: Saturdays, August 22 through September 26, 10:00 am to noon

Where: Online via Zoom

Cost: $150

Registration: Registration is limited to 10 participants. Register by Friday, August 21. We’ll send you payment information after you register.
