About

This class has been canceled.

Have you ever had a secret place? A hideout? A hut? A place that was your own special place? For many writers, a personal journal provides that same sense of privacy and freedom. It’s a place to be alone with your thoughts, to let your imagination run wild, and to explore the richness of your inner world. In this class, you will focus on writing as a means of self-discovery. Expect to keep a journal, which will be shared only voluntarily and to do a series of fun, imaginative activities combining art (working with clay, drawing, etc.) and writing.  Join us!!

Both beginning and more experienced writers are welcome. Ages 12-18 are welcome.

Emily holds a M.A. in Literature from Middlebury College’s Bread Loaf School of English and was an instructor at the Duke Young Writers’ Camp. In addition to teaching, she serves as a Courage & Renewal® facilitator, leading retreats designed to help participants live and work more fully and wholeheartedly, in alignment with who they truly are.
