Writing Workshop at Wisdom House Weekend
Fifth Annual Wisdom House Writing Weekend!
Writing Workshop at Wisdom House Workshop Participants
 

Journey into the Imagination
 

A High Energy, Spring Writing Workshop
led by Emily Hanlon
April 29-May 1, 2011
Wisdom House Retreat Center, Litchfield, Connecticut

Join us for a weekend of writing, creativity, gorgeous surroundings, fantastic food and community at its best!

The core of this weekend's work is welcoming the unknown into your writing. We will go on a magical mystery tour to find and embrace new characters and to deepen our relationship to characters who already may people our stories. Bring something on which you are already working or simply bring along your Inner Writer, pen and a journal and let the magic unfold!

  • We use the "what ifs" and "what happens nexts" of story telling and other techniques of the short story, novel and fictionalized non-fiction.

  • We explore our creativity through guided imagery, interviewing characters and other techniques Emily has developed to further your stories and access your creative passion.

  • Critiquing is always supportive and inspires you to go deeper and take the risks passionate writing demands.

The workshop is for writers of all levels. If you have been to any of Emily's past workshops, this workshop will build on and deepen the work you have done as well as bring the first-timer into the magical world of the imagination!

"The best part of the weekend for me was drawing on the spirit, passion and energy of the group. And having a forum to read without criticism was wonderful..."
          ~ Carolyn Rowland

"I've become freer, looser and much more apt to take risks; more open to writing creatively."   
          ~ Audrey Larkin

"I loved the group discussions and I really enjoyed everyone's readings. Such richness, depth and diversity to the stories. My writing is coming easier and I feel I can go anywhere and write about anything."
          ~Lisa Calhoon

"My biggest breakthrough was feeling I belonged with other writers."
          ~ Sheila O'Conner

"I came into the workshop a little apprehensive. "All these women are going to be such great writers," I thought. As the night went on, I began to feel a sudden burst of confidence...Suddenly all the hidden creativeness I knew was within me shone through...This weekend I finally became friends with my inner writer!"
