Spring Series: Cultivating Your Inner Garden

In the Women Writing for (a) Change Spring Series, we will cultivate that “interior acre” of self, the inner garden from which all your creative and expressive life grows.

Working from various texts, including Fruitflesh, A Life of One’s Own, and Seeding Your Soul, we’ll use writing “in the garden” to explore our own mental, physical, emotional and spiritual growth.

The series begins January 21 and ends April 29. This 15-week class meets Wednesday nights from 7-9:15 p.m. in Jacksonville Golf and Country Club. Each class is facilitated by writer-faciliatator Jennifer Wolfe, with occasional guest presenters.

Over the course of the semester, our process will help you:

**find (or re-discover) your writing voice
**develop your own style and learn to trust it
**see your writing patterns
**notice emerging themes in your writing
**refine your craft
**fine-tune your writing voice
**become part of a growing community

Here's How It Works

In the Spring Series (our "Core Class"), the facilitator provides writing prompts and resources, encouraging participants to choose and develop their own subject matter. Classes allow for personal writing time, small-group sharing, instruction in useful and positive feedback, and opportunities to read aloud for an audience. This amazing, supportive writing community will provide you with both the structure and the freedom to develop your own individual style and technique.

You'll also have the time and opportunity to develop your writing to the next level, whatever type of writing you are doing today. Novelist? Non-fiction writer? Journaling addict -- or would like to be? Poet? Perhaps you are working on your memoirs, or, you are in a transition period, and working through important life events.

Regardless of where you are on your life journey, Women Writing for (a) Change, Jacksonville, provides a safe and supportive environment in which to cultivate your authentic style, within a community that will support you.

Cost per class is $25, or $350 total for the spring Early Bird Rate by Dec. 31; $395 after, paid in full by January 21. A nonrefundable deposit of $75 will hold your spot. Some scholarship spots are available; direct your request directly to Jennifer Wolfe.
