Full price:
$165; Member: $115; Conc Member: $100

In this workshop, you’re invited to recognize what blocks your creativity, and experiment with ways to transform those obstacles into opportunities.   What’s possible when you stop believing in limitations and enter writing as a field of possibility and revelation.

Some questions we’ll explore:

     –What blocks you from beginning? 

     –What stymies you from moving forward on a writing project that’s   

        important to you?

     –How and why do you deny yourself nourishment and validation?

     –Why is it hard to complete a piece of work?

At each of these barriers in the creative process, you’ll discover the resources hiding in the very places where you get ‘stuck.’  Then the barrier becomes a threshold, and you are invited into the richness of the experience you had considered to be a problem.  

Beginners and experienced writers are welcome.

Food
Tea and coffee making facilities will be provided. Course participants are advised to bring their own lunch as there are no cafes within easy walking distance.
