World Tree Studio	The Creative Spark: A Workshop Series for Writers This weekly writing workshop follows the innovative methods of the Amherst Writers & Artists to guide both new and experienced writers to their best writing. In a safe and supportive environment, discover the creative spark within, and find out how a writing practice can change your relation to yourself, your loved ones, and the world around you. In each workshop, we write together following a prompt (which may be a guided visualization, a poem, a series of words or phrases, an object, and so on); writers are encouraged, but never forced, to share their writing, and all participants learn the skills of listening closely and providing supportive feedback to other writers. For those who wish to receive guidance on the later stages of writing, this workshop series also provides the opportunity to receive written and verbal responses to short typed manuscripts.

Group Teleclasses	Yoga and Writing: Weekly Teleclass Stay connected to a wonderful community of yoga practitioners and writers. Be introduced to the practices of yoga and writing, or extend and deepen your Yoga and Writing retreat experience throughout the year. Aside from meditative breathwork, no yoga postures are practiced during these calls. Instead, we use our broader understanding of yoga as a whole way of life to deepen and enrich our writing practices. As we write together, often several times each session, watch your heart open and your mind become clear and focused. As you settle into your favorite chair, cup of tea or hot chocolate in hand, join a dynamic group of writers and yogis and discover your most creative self. For all levels: no writing or yoga experience necessary. For further information and to register, view the teleclasses page or contact Michèle. Yoga and Writing: Monthly Teleclass An introduction to the practices of yoga and writing. This monthly class is for all levels. Class fee: $30 donation to the charity of your choice.
