Upcoming Opportunties
Happy New Year!
Greetings Friends,
In the coming months I'm excited to lead a writing class and workshop, to be a weekend presenter, and part of retreat team in several opportunities to nourish your self expression and let your creativity shine.
I hope you'll join me for one or more of the activities.
SHORT STORY CLASS
In this small group workshop, we'll begin with an idea or outline for a short story (either fiction or memoir), write a first draft, and revise it in the coming weeks while learning about and experimenting with essential components of stories including point of view, setting, scene, detail, dialogue, and more.
Held in Poulsbo on Tuesdays from February 25 - March 17. $100 fee.
Email Cathy to register. Address and directions provided upon registration.
ONE DAY WRITING RETREAT
Spring into your story this first day of spring with a one-day memoir writing retreat in beautiful Hansville on the north edge of the Kitsap Peninsula.
Using writing suggestions that engage the senses, we'll unearth memories, name what we know, and begin to write personal and family stories, life journeys, and memorable experiences.
No writing experience necessary. Sharing is optional and conducted in a safe and supportive environment.
$75 includes the day of instruction, coffee, tea, and light snacks. Bring a lunch, journal and pen, or tablet/computer.
Address and directions provided upon registration.

HARBOR WOMEN'S WELLNESS WEEKEND
Early Bird Registration through January 18th
I'm offering two workshops:
WRITING FOR RENEWAL
Experience expressive writing, a powerful tool for wellbeing for everyone—writers and nonwriters alike. All you need is a pen and paper to explore this method with proven ability to renew, change, heal, empower, and inspire you in all aspects of life. You’ll learn tips and tools for using this simple and rewarding writing method at home.
CREATE YOUR VISION
What does your best life look? Come find out and have fun while you’re at it. Get in touch with your deepest goals, dreams, and desires by creating a vision board—a collage of words and images that will encourage and inspire your journey into the future.
The Women's Wellness Weekend is offered at Tacoma Community College's Gig Harbor Campus. Friday night will include a key note speaker, Jennifer Clarke, local author on renewal, vision mapping and goal setting, artist's reception for Alexander Lee, great prizes, refreshments and live music!
