How do we cultivate a sustainable writing practice and keep our creative energy alive? Join acclaimed author and master writing coach Sarah Selecky on Tuesday, April 1 at 6:30 p.m. for a meditative writing workshop on maintaining your creative spark.
Whether you’re beginning your writing journey anew or seeking to deepen your relationship with an existing project, this workshop invites you to step into a state of calm fascination that integrates both conscious craft and unconscious awareness into your writing practice.
