Excellent writing is almost always the result of a strong writer’s voice. But what, exactly, is that voice and how do we find it? We will use specific, targeted writing prompts to help unearth your own writing voice, and you will learn how to strengthen it, and use it to your advantage in all your creative writing. We will look at examples of voice in published works, do LOTS of in-class writing, and create a safe space to share aloud. BRING – a laptop or plenty of paper and pen.

Fermentation is one of the world's oldest food-preservation technologies. Humans have been fermenting foods and beverages for thousands of years; in some cultures, the consumption of alcohol was largely restricted to religious ceremonies. Many animal species have been known to become intoxicated from fermented fruit, including monkeys, squirrels, birds, and moose! Making dandelion wine is a terrific springtime tradition. Best if you have a bottle from last year leftover to pop open. Learn to make wine from foraged fruits and flowers! We will cover the whole process, start to finish, so students will be able to complete the process on their own; although we won’t actually produce (nor drink) any wine together.

There’s more to the art of divination than just Tarot cards and crystal balls. Learn something new in this Divination Salon Series and try your hand at some other unique forms of divination in this series of a la carte salons. Bibliomancy is divination by books, lyrics and letters. Bring your favorite inspirational book: songbooks, sacred texts, short stories and poetry anthologies are great choices. You can even bring a newspaper or magazine. We will try out several forms of bibliomancy and you’ll go home with a personal oracle message.

Have you ever toyed with the idea of writing a story or two? Maybe you’ve lived an interesting life, maybe you’re a storyteller at heart, maybe you just love the thought of putting pen to paper and letting your imagination fly! If any part of this sounds intriguing, this might be the class for you. Over a period of three weeks you will hear how I, a formed science teacher and intuitive healer, learned how to tap into my creative self and found the confidence to write my recently published memoir, “When My Mother was a Mountain.” Join me as I show you how to quiet your logical mind and slip into your creative center so you can access the artistic parts of you. Each of us has unique, creative abilities as well as varying degrees of confidence and experience. As a teacher for over forty years I have learned how to create a supportive and stimulating class environment. This “hands-on” class is for all ability levels and it will be loaded with surprises. Our focus will be on the basics of the “story” and not grammar/style. Come with a large notebook and pen and be ready to explore areas of your creativity you never imagined.
