Events Two things keep writers from hearing and trusting their own voices. One is placing too much trust in other voices of authority - that of other writers, editors, professors, their mother. The other is having such a noisy mind that a writer's inner voice is muted. Our workshops, retreats, and courses help you write from your own voice's authority while honing your craft. We aspire for people of all backgrounds - fresh as well as veteran writers and artists - to come away from our events with a grounded versatility, confidence, and authenticity. Our events are unique. We do not focus solely on process without critical acumen, and we don't dwell on craft without considering heart. Each event balances deeply felt creative and personal exploration with a sensibility toward practical creative challenges and issues of craft. We keep the heart in craft-talk, and we keep the craft in heart-ful, deep creative process. Our designated Yoga As Muse retreats and workshops include far more than offering a yoga class followed by writing. We explore specific ways to become more aware of how our own yoga practice affects our imagination and emotions and intellect, and we find ways to integrate yoga tools of body, posture sequence, and breath seamlessly into a creative process and a creative life. We follow up with each participant after an event to see how he or she is assimilating the changes and realizations that inevitably arise during our events. Who attends? * Successful novelists, scholars, memoirists, creative nonfiction writers, playwrights, poets, artists, photographers * Aspiring novelists, memoirists, creative nonfiction writers, playwrights, poets - and people with great ideas and stories who yearn for tools to craft them * People who feel their creative impulses but don't yet have the resources to manifest them * People who love yoga and who writing and are curious about wedding their two passions * Writers who don't practice yoga, and yogis who don't write regularly - but who are curious * People in deep transition, what we call "fertile confusion," who sense that yoga and creativity might help them navigate the transition (and their intuition always proves right) 1.845.679.9441 |
