Easy as Breathing: Mindful Writing for Women at Green Gulch Farm

Once again, Laurie Schley Senauke and Cynthia Cummins are leading a weekend writing circle at Green Gulch Farm. We’ll stay together in the Guesthouse and write together in the Wheelwright Center. This workshop will fill fast, so please register as soon as you can.

Free your creativity, spill words onto the page, and share your stories in an inspiring circle of supportive women.

Authentic, compelling writing comes from a place of emptiness. By simply showing up, listening, and writing what arises, we discover the ideas we need to bring to light, especially after the relative isolation and darkness of the last three years.

We calm the mind, then follow playful and provocative prompts to start our pens flowing. In timed exercises, we bypass our inner critics and write freely. Words appear. Memories surface. Tales emerge. We read them aloud and encourage one another to drop deeper and reach higher.

During our days together, we’ll move as a community—dining together and lodging at the Octagonal Guest House. A willingness to be quiet and to play is all that is required; no writing experience needed. Bring pen and paper but not your laptop. (If handwriting presents a challenge, please reach out to Cynthia or Laurie ahead of time.)

This retreat is trans- and non-binary-inclusive.

NOTE: The workshop fee does not include overnight accommodations.
