Writing with Laura Davis Meetup

The Writer'sJourney: Weekly Many of us hold a deep dream of wanting to write. We want to write so we can understand ourselves more deeply and so that we can be seen. We sense that there are stories living inside of us that need to be told, but in our busy lives, we have not been able to create the time, space or circumstances in which to do so. The WriterÂÂ's Journey will give you that time. In our safe, supportive circle, you will find the permission, encouragement, and skills you need to explore the voices in your heart and tell the truth about your life. The WriterÂÂ's Journey is not a critique group in which we polish finished pieces. Rather, it is a workshop in which we use class time to create new material. We alternate periods of writing with learning to listen to each otherÂÂ-not from a place of judgment or analysisÂÂ-but from a place of focused attention and deep acceptance. The WriterÂÂ's Journey is rooted in writing practice, as developed by Natalie Goldberg in her classic books, Writing Down the Bones and Wild Mind, and is enhanced by my sixteen years as a successful author, book doctor, group facilitator, and writing coach. Ongoing Writing Practice Groups for New and Experienced Students: Tuesdays, 6:30-9:30 PM (coed) Wednesdays, 10:00 AM-1:00 PM (women only) Feedback Classes (support and critique for work-in-progress) Fridays, 9:00-noon • Thursdays, 9:30-12:30 All Groups Meet In Santa Cruz For information, all with any questions or concerns: 831-464-9517 or email Laura at her website www.lauradavis.net
