For FORMER Students:

2007 Discovery Writing Weekend Retreat for Women

The annual fall retreat for Discovery Writing students is scheduled for the weekend of October 12-14 at StoneyWoods Retreat Center. The retreat welcomes all women who are former or current Discovery Writing participants. If space remains available, the retreat will open to any woman interested in personal discovery through listening-writing.

Detailed information will automatically be e-mailed to past registrants, as long as I have your current e-mail address. Let me know if you do not receive the retreat e-mail by August 15 and I will send it to you.

If you are not a former student, but interested in attending the retreat for the first time, please send me an e-mail requesting detailed information. Expect a response after August 15.

2008 Discovery Writing Yearlong Group

Next year will be the 10th year that I am offering a yearlong Discovery Writing group beginning in January and meeting monthly through December. I am still in awe of the process that evolves and the way our lives connect—sitting around the purple table—listening and writing. If you are a former student interested in participating in the 2008 yearlong group, watch for more details in the December newsletter. In the meantime, pencil the 3rd Tuesday evening of each month on your 2008 calendar. Please contact me if you have any questions.

We will meet on the second Tuesday of each month from 6:30-8:30 p.m. at my office in the Midway neighborhood of St. Paul. The cost is $100 per quarter, payable in any month of the quarter. Limit of 8 students.
