Written With Love: Stories, Sentiments, and Self-Love
The Artist's Way: A Spiritual Path to Higher Creativity
Written With Love: Stories, Sentiments, and Self-Love
The theme is LOVE and the scope of this powerful writing class is three-fold:
1. Through guided instruction, learn to tell a love story (fiction or non-fiction) effectively and with detail, heart, and meaning. (This can be your own love story, that of someone in your family, or even a story of fiction).
2. Learn to express love and sentiment in writing (announcements, correspondence, social media, blogging, and more).
Write the perfect Valentine!
3. Write from your heart...to your heart. Self-love at its best...in writing. This is a powerful exercise with guided meditation and instruction on how to delve into the soul and tap into what heals and nurtures our very self at its core.
This particular class is not just heartfelt, it's deep and rich in feeling. It's for those who believe that love guides us all and that expression of love is vital to our existence, especially if we are to be happy and thrive. It's for full, happy, and even broken hearts; the theme is love, the message is love, and the power is in the pen.
We'll take a fun, upbeat, and yet deep dive into love, our experiences, and our philosophies....to explore the infinite notion of love and all that we can do with it when we speak from the heart.
All materials,
plus refreshments provided.
Items to bring if you wish: Your journal, love letters, photos, any "artifacts" that symbolize love in your life (jewelry, gifts, etc.)

The Artist's Way: A Spiritual Path to Higher Creativity
Written With Love: Stories, Sentiments, and Self-Love
Do you love to hike and want to learn how to creatively document your adventures?
Starting February 6, 2022 unique hikes will be taking place in Northern Minnesota where attendees will experience nature while stopping to jot ideas, observances, questions, and bursts of creativity along the way! We will take pictures, share "fun facts," and inspire each other as we write our way through the woods.
Participants need to be able to walk or snowshoe over easy to moderately challenging terrain in all seasons, come prepared with proper clothing and gear, and tote their own water, snack, and journal along with them.
At select hikes, well-behaved dogs (on leash) and curious, nature-loving children will be welcome!
At the end of our hike, we'll share our findings and notes and enjoy a tasty homemade treat and beverage, toasting our travels and sparks of brilliance!
