Writing your Heart Out Retreat with Sandra Shackelford
Is there a story within you waiting to be shared?
This powerful 2-day writers workshop will help you to unlock the story within. Part of the creative non-fiction workshop (and journaling) will include information about The Writing Process, which will include:
- Developing a timeline -- creating a map chronicling the important/transformational people, events and experiences in your life journey.
- You will learn about story structure: beginnings, middle, ends; scene building; sense of place; character building, etc.
-
You will learning about reflection , going deeper into your story. This step will help you free yourselves in order to open up, silence the "inner critic" and free you to begin writing your heart out.
-
In Golden Light Healing Retreat's sacred, safe, non-judgmental environment you will be encouraged to tell and write your TRUTH.
