The joy of your class, for me, is that we are there to craft, but also to free up, to be brave and go into the depths, to live without judgment because that's where the real work is living. The classes are about creating a space and welcoming the writers to explore.

DELVE INTO STORY WRITING CLASSES

These writing classes, designed for women writers working on projects of memoir, fiction, and creative nonfiction, will help you find fresh ideas and new directions for your writing. Break out of the dull and predictable and be astonished at what you will write!

Description

In this 2 1/2 hour class for writers with current projects, you will useAlpana Centered Writing Practice™ to prompts specifically designed to generate material for a project you are currently working on (fiction, creative nonfiction, or memoir). You may also choose to ignore the prompt and write whatever comes next in your project. Delve Into Story will help you go deeper into the process to find the truth of the story and your relationship to it.

To enroll in Delve Into Story, participants must have attended at least one session of Tell It Like It Is or a retreat, have a current project, and have Peggy's approval.  Continuing students receive priority.  New enrollees are encouraged to register early and will be advised of available space  after the registration date given for each class.  Limited to 12 participants.
