Writing Retreat with Joan Rose Staffen

For Catamaran Conference attendees who want an alternative to the traditional workshop, Joan Staffen, writer, artist, and healer, will lead a series of sessions designed to generate new writing and ensure a healthy habitual writing practice. Spend each morning workshop (9:30 a.m. - 12:30p.m.) with a group of between 5 -8 other writers and learn short grounding and meditative exercise to remove psychic blocks, enhance creativity, and ground our energy to become fully present. Discover motivations for why we write, create a writer’s code, and dissolve blocks in our creative process. In supportive group discussions, recap and develop ways to celebrate our daily progress. Attendees will also meet privately with Joan Rose to tackle any creative blocks and brainstorm future plans. It's all about generating new writing! The workshop meets four mornings (Mon.-Thurs.).
