Workshops - Rollinsville, CO

SUMMER 2026 -

Space Limited

Workshops exploring the landscapes of the body and the earth.

Writing Wild Workshops are season-based generative workshops exploring our wild, physical selves in all the landscapes we inhabit. Participants drop into their senses and write to and from this place in a series of exercises meant to inspire and get their creative juices going. Open to beginners and seasoned writers as well as the writing curious. Plan for camaraderie, craft talk, nature walking, discussion, and plenty of writing. Space limited. #writingwildworkshops

Writing Wild: Learning the Language of Land

Sunday, June 7th 10-3:30

With summer coming into bloom, we’ll take our cue from the abundance of wildflowers and birds, seasonal thundershowers and flourishing gardens to learn how to listen to the more-than-human world. Become an animal in landscape or a cloud blown on the wind, spend time inspecting the woodpecker-tattered bark of an aspen or examining the tendrils offered by moss to learn to engage your senses to and fill your inspirational cup. Join me for exploration and generative exercises.

Writing Wild: Ritual

Sunday October 4th 10-3:30

As we prepare to enter enter fall, this daylong workshop focuses on not only helping your understand your own writing rituals (best times + places for inspiration, how to keep coming back to writing over and over) in order to help you feed your creative self, but also on inspiring some new ones. Plus, we’ll take a deep dive in the mystery with an intuitive inspiration hike and using tarot cards to help us access images, stories, poems swimming in our subconscious bodies.

FULL DAY WORKSHOPS - $150 OR $125 When You Register with a friend.
