This is a special retreat for me, and it's different from anything else I offer.


This isn't a weekend about how to write. I don't have a method to hand you, and I don't really know what the silence will say on any given day. It's about what happens when I listen to my heart, and what happens when you listen to yours.


Over three days, we'll begin in meditation and silence. I'll read some poems aloud, offer a little reflection, and then we'll just make space. Space for your own words to pour forth, or to trickle, or to sit there and not come at all for a while. No lessons on form or technique. No performing. No polishing. No outcome you have to…
