Good Life Center resident stewards Lucy and Jordan have led writing and poetry workshops for years. In this hands-on workshop for writers of all experience levels, participants will explore sensory writing with a focus on place and memory. Drawing inspiration from The Good Life Center’s gardens and from short excerpts by the Nearings and contemporary authors, we’ll engage in guided exercises to craft vivid, sensory-rich pieces. Along the way, we’ll dive into craft techniques to sharpen our sentences, deepen our attention, and foster a greater sense of connection—to the natural world, to our writing, and to one another.

The Good Life Center believes in reciprocity and community; as such, all possible workshops are sliding scale. See the Sliding Scale ticket if you cannot afford full price.
