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.

2009 Discovery Writing Retreat for Women
Although it’s too early for registrations, it’s not too early to pencil the dates of the annual fall writing retreat on your calendar. We’ll be going to StoneyWoods Retreat Center for the weekend of October 16-18th. In August, I’ll send out an email to past registrants and former students with all of the details.
2009 Discovery Writing Yearlong Group
This is the group that begins in January and meets monthly through December. For the first time since I began offering the group, it didn’t happen this year. Because of that, I’m considering starting a group in September that would meet monthly through May. I’ll have details in the August newsletter if I decide to try again this fall.
Intentional Living—Meaningful WorkSM
celebrating its 10th year
For ALL who are Interested:
Intentional Living—Meaningful Work
The idea of living with intention and working with meaning speaks to the heart, soul, and imagination. When I created this class over ten years ago and began teaching it through the Compleat Scholar, I had no idea it would grow more relevant with each passing year. Once again, the class will be offered in the spring and I would love to have you join us.
Description: Poet Mary Oliver asks, “Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?” Using this question as a place to begin, you are invited to examine the way you are living and working. Consider other questions too—Is this all there is? What are my true needs? How is my life being consumed? What's worth doing? Grapple with these ideas and more through personal reflection, group discussion, interactive exercises, a little writing, and optional outside reading. The group provides a supportive and stimulating environment that encourages personal responsibility for informed, conscious choice.
Class will be held on the following Thursday evenings at the Continuing Education and Conference Center on the St. Paul campus of the University of Minnesota: April 9, 16, 23, 30 from 6:30-8:30 p.m. Preregistration is required for Event ID 182628. $160.
To register for Intentional Living—Meaningful Work, you will need to call the Compleat Scholar office at 612-624-4000 or go to www.cce.umn.edu/scholars.
