SURPRISE FARM RETREAT CENTER
"Root Words" Writing Workshop
Tuesdays, May 6 - 20, 5:30 - 7:30 PM
Root your writing practice! Visit a different part of Surprise Farm Retreat Center each week, take a look at powerful lessons from fiction, and write and revise your original pieces from 5:30 - 7:30. Afterwards, participants may choose to chat and read aloud from their stories around the fire pit. Feel free to bring food or beverages for a potluck, or an instrument if you'd like to play.
Recommended contribution is $30 per class; please reach out to katherinekesner@gmail.com if this is out of your budget but you would like to participate.
