Overview
What is your spiritual story? How has your understanding of the Holy unfolded and your life changed? In this workshop, we will explore our spiritual autobiographies. Using writing prompts and contemplative techniques, we will discover our stories, find the freedom to tell them, and delve more deeply into our relationship with the divine now.

So You Want to Write

TBD
Leadville, CO

Max: 8 participants
Persons of all writing abilities welcome



To register or request more information, please email us at: sagemountaininstitute@gmail.com

Many people have writing projects in the backs of their minds, ideas and inspirations that they live with for years, but for which they struggle to find a path to fruition. Many people dream of knowing themselves, their stories, family histories, or their passions through writing. But imagining it is so much easier than doing it.

 

This retreat will focus on techniques for starting, creating, and maintaining a writing practice. Every day we will write together, while also exploring the obstacles that get in our way. Every participant will also have an individual consultation with Amy Frykholm, author of seven books of fiction, non-fiction, and poetry. 

 

You will come away from our time in beautiful and inspirational Leadville with a plan for your writing thriving. You will know yourself, your potential projects, and your hopes for them in a substantial way that will propel you forward. 

We will begin with dinner together at 6:00pm on Monday. Each day will include writing prompts, silent reflection, the opportunity to learn from each other, and time for solitary writing. Though this is not a retreat on writing craft, we will learn from one another’s experiences. Continental breakfast items will be available and our first workshop will start at 9:30am. Our days will end with wine and cheese at Tristan’s Place. We will end by 10:00am Friday.

 

Our week together will include an hike or other outing (weather permitting). We can also direct you toward one of Leadville’s many interesting historical sites.

Retreat Location

Our time together including workshops, discussion, and dinners will take place at Tristan's Place, a victorian home in downtown Leadville. Tristan's Place is a cosy location for conversation, writing, and even has a hot tub!
