In this six-session writing class, we will be pursuing the rich life by cultivating our attention, our writing, our stories and our voices through wordplay and wordwork, generating pieces through activities and assignments. We will read our work out loud, providing each other with a friendly and attentive audience, and we will have the cross-pollinating opportunity to be influenced by music, painting, and nature.
Dates: Tuesdays and Thursdays in November: November 4, 6, 11, 13, 18, 20

Fee: $300
