Dear Writers,

Three quick updates!

First, I just want to say happy, happy, happy, happy! I have been invited to lead a Re-Emergence Writing Retreat in a gorgeous mid-century modern refuge on the Hackmatack Nature Preserve in Wisconsin this July. Exact dates TBD, but likely the third weekend, Friday evening through Sunday afternoon. The retreat will include close reading of literary work, guided writing exercises, individual writing time, meditation/chanting, and immersive time in nature. I will bring you more details the minute I have them, but the focus will be on writing our way into this next normal, writing as a vehicle to release some of the trauma of the last year, and writing as an art for self-discovery and human connection. Appropriate for all levels and genres, including but not limited to writers focused on publication. I cannot wait! If you would like to be on the list of people to receive direct mailings specific to this retreat, inquire here.

Second, I am reading tonight at 6 Central with the astoundingly talented poet and memoirist Marcela Sulak. She and I are the featured readers for Bright Hill Press’s Word Thursdays Reading Series. Please join us if you can!

Finally, we have exactly two spots left for the upcoming session of Writing in the Dark, Elephant Rock’s most popular and productive workshop ever. If you want to write with me, please inquire.

That’s all for now, except to thank you, as always, for being part of my beloved community. I am grateful.

With love,

Jeannine
