Session Descriptions
Empower Your Voice Writing Workshop: Everyone has a unique voice. The question is not how to find it but how to support it, strengthen it, listen to it, let it out. In this session, we’ll talk and write about our own essential voices, appreciate their power and source, and practice connecting deeply with our own special sound.
Yoga Breath Work for Writers: Combining her broadcasting degree with her yoga training, Kerry will guide you into connection with your breath and your vocals in this session. Gain a deeper link with your essential self as well as guidance for hitting our open stage with confidence. (Check out Kerry’s voice-over work on this video: yep, that’s her!).
Writing with Intention Workshop: Free writing and prompts can help us harness and polish our practice, but what do you do after you’ve filled a hundred notebooks? In this session, we will explore the journey of commitment and completion in order to choose a writing project, work with intention, and follow a charted course through chaos to clarity.
Sunrise Silence Walk Into Writing: Liminal times (times ‘in between’) can conjure powerful thoughts and ideas. We’ll meet at the teepee, walk by the river, then return to the meeting room and go straight into our writing (the coffee and kettle will be on). (Note: this session will be done entirely in silence).
Please note: we reserve the right to alter the itinerary as necessary.
