Immerse yourself in a full day of creative writing, author-led workshops, and inspiring readings. Join novelist Fran Kimmel, with workshops by authors Katherine Koller and Rayanne Haines, followed by self-guided writing time, meditation, and the chance to share your work.

Time will be set aside after each workshop for self-guided writing. Participants can stretch their legs and explore the facility and yard to find their perfect place to write. Writing prompts will be available to anyone needing inspiration.

Participants will be guided through a brief sound meditation, cleansing their palettes before breaking for lunch (provided).
The day will end with an opportunity to share some work and last thoughts.
