The Darling Buds of May
May 14 @ 10:00 AM - 3:00 PM
$85.00
“Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May…” is a line from Shakespeare’s Sonnet 18, which recognizes that the weather is precarious, as is life itself. This workshop offers prompts that give you the opportunity to write about the “rough winds” as well as those “darling buds.” Opportunity is the operative word here, because you are always welcome to work on and/or share anything your creative soul desires.
Here’s what to expect:
- breath work and a brief intention-setting meditation
- two prompts followed by two blocks of individual writing time
- two optional sharing sessions
Don’t forget, if you are working on something and would like an intimate group of avid listeners to hear your words, feel free to bring your work in progress, your published poem, your memoir excerpt, whatever needs an appreciative ear.
The workshop is a bring-your-own-lunch. There is a refrigerator and microwave available to you. Coffee, tea, and light snacks will be provided. Please bring your own mug to help reduce the amount of trash generated.
No matter your writing goals, you will be right at home with others who come from all levels of experience, from diarists to dabblers to published authors. Join us!
