The Writers League of Texas Presents: Finding Your Voice in Nonfiction
with Charlotte Gullick
(POSTPONED - New Date TBD)

Are you struggling to find your voice and sense of self in nonfiction?
Readers are drawn in by both a compelling story and an engaging voice. Yet, voice can be such an elusive element in writing, especially when it comes to nonfiction. This class will help you find your voice through the reading of vibrant examples and targeted writing exercises. We’ll have fun and develop a sense of who we are on the page.

The Art of Impermanence: Grounding in Vulnerability through Creative Process
with Jake Lorfing & Melinda Rothouse
April 16-22, 2023
Casa Werma Retreat Center, Patzcuaro, Mexico

The Art of Impermanence explores the process of change and becoming, of the ephemerality of our everyday experience, through the lens of creativity and contemplative arts practice. Through a combination of daily mindfulness meditation practice and creative arts exercises, we will explore the vulnerability inherent in our existence as sentient beings, observing how all phenomena arise and pass away. Using an array of artistic media, including writing, photography, movement, sound, and visual arts, we’ll awaken to the fluid nature of life from the loving container and lush gardens of Casa Werma in Patzcuaro, Mexico.
