Spend an evening immersed in language. We'll use group reading and meditative exercises to refresh and reset. As writers and creatives, our work is often fueled by a personal urgency. How we respond to questions of power, identity, tragedy even, infiltrates and often gives life to our work. With so much coming at us, how do we continue to have an authentic response without stressing the muse? “I rhyme / to see myself, to set the darkness echoing.” –Seamus Heaney, “Personal Helicon”
