Journaling, travel writing, sketching and photography can be used to help craft any form of poetry, prose, fiction, fantasy or memoir. Fearless writing practices silence the inner critic and help you be present for whatever needs to come to the page. Lisa will share how her decades of journaling and travel writing have been essential to cultivating her own creative wisdom, publishing her first book THE THIRD SPRING: Poetic gratitudes on a journey of renewal in a post-pandemic world, and completing her memoir The Zihua Diaries.
Learn to trust your writer’s mind and cultivate a regular habit of stillness, observation and reconnection with your muse – no matter your location, experience level or genre. Using love and curiosity as your most guiding elements, you will cultivate your writer’s voice and strengthen your practice.
We will discuss why we write, obstacles we believe we face, and then dive in and free-write. Weather permitting, we will journey outside to write, sketch, or take photos, and create some compelling writing samples to take home. This course also offers insights into the immersive creativity retreats she’s offering in Zihuatanejo, Mexico this winter, and in other inspiring locations.
