ABOUT THE WORKSHOP
Think of Plein Air Writing for the Writer's Soul as a mini adventure for your writer-self. Following in the footsteps of plein air painters, you'll step outside of your typical writing space to experience – and capture – the landscape around you. Designed for writers of all levels and genres, the workshop helps awaken the senses and strengthen creativity.
​
-
​If the writer in you longs for a new, engaging experience...
-
If you could benefit from a boost of inspiration and confidence...
-
If you could use some encouragement and support to energize your writer-self...
This workshop is for you! It is a stimulating and fun experience that gives you permission to try something new – and supports you every step of the way. Over the course of three days (approximately 45-90 minutes per day), you'll be guided step by step to release what holds you back, prepare a powerful experience, step outside and engage your senses, reflect and capture your insights, and share with fellow participants.
How it Works
For three days starting Friday, August 22, you'll log into our custom workshop platform, where a new lesson will be waiting for you. Each day's lesson will open at 7 a.m. Eastern Time and will remain open for you to access at your convenience throughout the day. Please set aside 60-90 minutes per day (in the morning, if possible) to come in and read the lesson and complete the activity. Starting on Day 2, the discussion platform will open so that you can share your experience and insights with others (if desired) and read what your fellow writers have gleaned from the experience. It's an accessible, beautiful experience that is just the right mixture of excitement, exploration, community, and support. ​

Course Philosophy:
Plein Air Writing for the Writer's Soul is designed to be an enjoyable break from your regular routine. It is built on the belief that as creative souls, we can benefit from creating (and embracing) opportunities to step outside and try something new. While we give you all the tools and support to complete a plein air writing session of your own, we also deeply respect each writer and know that the experience can look different for each of us. There isn't a right or wrong way to complete this workshop, and we welcome your voice and insights as you create and share your experience.
