About this Event
If leveling up and workshopping your writing in magical writer’s community sounds like a good time--this class is for you. Dig more deeply into writing strategies as you craft a single piece and move toward publication. Students in this course will learn about writing habits and strategies, discuss the elements of writing that make for evocative and meaningful writing/reading, write together and workshop each other’s drafts. While our focus is becoming the writers we are called to be, classes will also host complementary rituals, discussions of raising magical—so creative--energies, and our relationships with sponsoring deity, spirit, and ancestral relations.
Course will meet for five sessions: 1) The first class will be in person, 2) Then writers will meet via Zoom for three consecutive sessions. The course includes a 45 minute one-on-one coaching session with the instructor of these four sessions. One-on-one sessions will be scheduled individually within one month following course completion.
