Write Your Life Retreat in Lake Tahoe June 13th-15th
Write Your Life for the Page and the Stage
"As we write, we are both describing and deciding the direction that our life is taking. " Julia Cameron
This is an invitation for you to discover your own unique and powerful story and the profound transformation that occurs when speaking it out loud. You'll learn to trust your creative impulses, embracing all of who you are. By becoming the author of your own life and learning how to tell your own story, you will not only learn to craft your experience into a compelling narrative but you will also unleash a sense of purpose in your own life you never thought possible.
Through writing exercises, group discussion, and improvisation we will support one another in creating and speaking our stories. This is a workshop for those interested in personal essay, memoir, solo performance, and self discovery.
Writing exercises to stimulate memory
Learning to structure the narrative in a compelling way
Discovering ways to create spontaneously
Overcoming performance anxiety
Tools to release yourself from the inner critic
Transforming your ideas/stories into performance
Workshop hours- Friday- 7-9pm
Saturday from 10am-5:30pm
Sunday from 10:00-5:30pm
We will break for lunch everyday at 1:30pm

Sugar pine state park, chamberlands beach with bar and restaurant, emerald bay with vijingsholm, and tahoe city all within 5-30 min from homewood. My property backs up to maintained hiking trails to Quail lake and to Miller lake and as well fronts on the lake circuit bike trail.
