Write in the Great Outdoors

shaded tablesBe inspired by nature and take the challenge to work on your writing to enrich your life with this experience and to meet other like-minded people.

Does it seem like you never have enough time in the chaos of your days to get your writing into being? Do you find yourself thinking about it but not doing it? Are there many interruptions that sidetrack you away from your writing? Do you see the days passing quickly and fear that perhaps your life will pass and you have not written what is in your heart to write? 

Is there a way you truly can carve out space and time to think and to dream and to write? Would you dare take this time for yourself?

What could be possible IF you spent a day or two away, in the beautiful setting of Sacred Rocks Reserve, and put all your focus on your writing?

You are invited to COME and WRITE, for the weekend or just for the day. Writing challenges will be interspersed with readings, if desired, and exploring the Reserve to find your own special place for dreaming.
