We offer guided writing experiments that explore how sacred traditions, rituals, and belief systems inform and inspire the writing process.
About this Event

Mary Volmer and Maw Shein Win


The Brower Center - Kinzie Room


Maker, Mentor, Muse is an online teaching platform founded in 2022 by Dawn Angelicca

Barcelona, Mary Volmer, and Maw Shein Win. Hailing from three distinct backgrounds,

generations, and spiritual traditions we believe community is essential to building a

satisfying and sustainable literary life and that true success requires balancing all three

artistic roles: maker, mentor, muse. In this free one-hour workshop, we offer guided

writing experiments for poetry and prose that invites participants to explore how their

sacred traditions, rituals, and belief systems inform and inspire their writing processes.

Join us! Maker, Mentor, Muse


There will not be table space provided in our Writers' Workshop venues, so in addition to bringing paper and a pen, we recommend bringing a book or other hard surface to write on.
