As a group, we’ll go through five different sessions of prompts and exercises designed to ignite creativity, inspire new ideas or reinvigorate old ones, maybe even giving ourselves the push to finish something we are currently working on!

After writing, participants will have the option to share what’s created for gentle feedback, if desired. Perfect for those who want some inspiration, and to write to generate and gather new material!

Join us for a weekend of freewheeling creativity and encouragement! And I cook for you!
