Let's write together!
So often writers work alone. It's important to break the pattern of solitude and come together in creative community.
These 3 hour writing sessions are mini retreats. Based on Deep Story Design's one day Online Retreats, these shorter sessions follow a similar format that involves sharing an online space for conversation and writing as if we are in a room together.
For these sessions, we will meet on a live group call. We will start with a writing warm up and then check in with each other and set a writing intention for the session. We will then work together on our own project for about 90 minutes. After that, we will check in again as a group, honor the work we've done, and plan our next steps.
You can participate in this mini retreat from the comfort of your own home. Stay in your pajamas if you like!
Requirements:
* A computer with wifi access to connect to the live calls.
We will use the Zoom platform. A link and instructions to download the application will be provided (very straightforward).
* A notebook and pen for certain warm up exercises and notes.
* You might want a pair of headphones nearby.

"I now very much appreciate this way of creating a sacred room for writing in the comfort of my own home."

After you've registered you will receive an email note from April with a new meeting link the day before the event.

If you're interested in a full day retreat, I invite you to consider the one day Online Writing Retreats on Saturdays once or twice per month.
