Online Course:

Write for your Health, Write for the Earth

Do you care deeply about the earth, but find yourself struggling with your own well being?

Maybe you sense there’s a connection, but feel too overwhelmed by despair to know what to do.

Let your writing guide you through a transformative process, where the challenges in your life become a source of deeper compassion and wisdom; and can even guide you to a new relationship with the earth.

You know that the earth needs you now!

But you need to remember that you need you too! Your words are a rich source of healing an inspiration, as well as a way to express the pain and frustration you may be feeling on a day to day basis.

By expressing your truth, you free up the energy you need to keep going. As your life becomes rooted in your own truth, you change your relationship with your health and with your life on this earth.

"The healing aspect of what you do is just incredible, and not something you normally find in a writing workshop."

Robin Brooks, Ghost Ranch participant, 2007

Six week online class, level one.

Okay so what’s an online writing course and how does it work in your life?

Here are some logistical details, so you can keep reading to find the answers to your questions.

And please contact me if you have more questions or want to talk about it in person before you sign up.

An online writing course happens via email.

Once you register, you set up a schedule that works for you. These classes have six sections.

You will complete one section a week. If you will be traveling or have other extenuating circumstances, we can design a calendar that works for you.

Each week, on the day you determine works best for you, you’ll receive your writing assignments from me.

After you write, you send me your writing, up to five pages. I send you another writing assignment. I respond to what you’ve written and send that to you.

Do I have to be an experienced writer to take this course?

No!

Writers of all levels are welcome.

These are exercises that are designed to help you express what’s inside you.

You’ll receive exercises, guidance and encouragement appropriate for your level of experience.

Before you receive your first week’s exercise, you’ll receive a form to fill out that will help me know more about you and where you’re at in your life and your writing.

One of the things I love most as a teacher is custom designing my exercises for each student’s needs. You’ll be led through a process that is similar to other people taking this course, and you’ll also receive exercises and suggestions that are very particular to your situation.

Program details:

You’ll get encouragement to write, inspiration and guidance to help you get started.

You’ll get my written responses to what you’ve written each week.

You’ll receive responses that help you see how your writing is working well. You'll be encouraged to build on these strengths to help you grow and develop as a writer.

You’ll also receive responses that help you integrate what the writing is calling forth within you.
