Sea Studio: Pen & Paper (you're invited)

T.S. Eliot called April the cruelest month, but I think it's March, with February being a close second. By February here in the U.S. mid-Atlantic/Northeast, we've had a lot of snow, a lot of cold, and not much sun. People are crabby because the holidays are over and we're all suffering from a Vitamin D deficiency. February is a brittle month full of bad chocolate, that damn groundhog who may or may not see his shadow, and little icy chunks of despair (like dirty snow) that spring will never-ever-don't-you-even-think-of-it come.

But I'm so excited about this coming February.

Porquoi? Let me give you a list:

A Be Present writing retreat,
called Sea Studio: Pen & Paper. (It's such a good name, right?)
A beach house on the Oregon coast.
Time for you, for your very own creative work and dreams.
Time with creative souls in community.
One Ms. Liz Lamoreux who creates retreats full of soul, warmth, and creativity.
The sweet | salty Kate Inglis.
The looks-oh-so fun Christen O. (Olivarez) from Stampington.
And I get to join them as mentors. (whee!)
And you? Will you join us? (I do hope you will.)

This is your invitation to:

• Spend five days on the Oregon coast living within a creative community
• Gather ideas and delve into your own writing projects
• Find the space to hear your creative voice whispering its dreams to you
• Connect with seasoned, supportive mentors about writing, publishing, and living the writing life
• Breathe in the salt air; eat delicious, nutritious meals; and be present to discovering the next step on your path

Registration has just opened, and there are only 20 spots available. So check it out! Sign up! Save me from using another exclamation point!

I'll be offering small group and private sessions at the retreat, as will all of the mentors. So check those out too, because they're packed with creative juice and writing-related goodness.
