More on Our Morning Workshops

Facilitated by acclaimed writers who are also experienced teachers of writing, we've designed generative morning workshops to help you imbue your writing with a profound sense of place and a deeper relationship to the natural world.

Through close readings, you will explore how published writers bring the natural world to life on the page in all its complexity. Guided writing exercises will teach you new techniques for exploring your own relationship to place and the environment. Group discussions will kickstart new ideas and writing projects.

By the end of the four-night, five-day experience, you will have renewed energy for a work-in-progress, fresh ideas for a new writing project, and an array of tools and techniques to apply to your own writing practice—or the writing practices of your students.
