For NEW Students:

Discovery Writing: Creating A Future

For 15 years Discovery Writing has been helping people to hear and trust their own knowing, in order to create a life of their own choosing.

This six-session class uses a simple “listening-writing” process as a way to explore what you truly desire; it is also a path to follow in creating your future.

2008 Discovery Writing Weekend Retreat for Women

The fall Discovery Writing retreat is scheduled for the weekend of October 17-19 at StoneyWoods Retreat Center. This annual retreat is open to all former and 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 new to Discovery Writing and interested in attending the retreat, please send me an e-mail requesting retreat information to LaurieMattila@aol.com. Expect a response after August 15.


2009 Discovery Writing Yearlong Group

I'm already looking forward to offering the next yearlong Discovery Writing group beginning in January and meeting monthly through December. Each year the group benefits from the experience of previous groups and goes beyond what has ever been. The process evolves and so do our lives—sitting around the purple table—listening and writing. If you are a former student interested in participating in the 2009 yearlong group, watch for more details in the December newsletter. In the meantime, pencil the 2nd Monday evening of each month on your 2009 calendar. Please contact me if you have any questions.
