and growing.
Quote:
"We delve into our deepest emotions and insights and explore
transformation, metaphor and the innate structures of our writings. We learn from each other's writing and ideas in a supportive environment.
We encourage risk-taking and experimentation. We examine how to listen
to and distill our instinctive ideas, images and inspirations into
language that is true to the core, into words that sing. All levels of
writing experience are welcome. Workshops focus on writing exercises
with some readings of master writers as a way to examine issues of
craft. The atmosphere is non-competitive with a focus on freeing up your
writing. Our instructors are award winning writers who are also
accomplished teachers. Classes are open to writers of all levels of
experience."
