ABOUT THE ONLINE RETREAT
In this new program, author Dr. Jamie Marich explores the questions she is most often asked by her readers who also have desires to write in the form of a day-long retreat. Many people experience a strong prompting to write—whether it be a book in their professional field, a blog, a creative work, an academic paper—yet feel a variety of blocks around where and how to start. Although this retreat is primarily designed for people who want to write non-fiction, regardless of the form, we welcome anyone who is feeling a desire to write and might be feeling stuck.
Dr. Jamie, an author of more than 10 non-fiction books and educational manuals in the fields of trauma therapy and expressive arts therapy, will speak and lead guided exercises on the following topics:
You will have an opportunity to share some of your ideas and work with peers in small groups if you wish. All of the ideas shared are directed by Dr. Jamie’s nearly fifteen years of experience as a professional writer in her field and beyond. The workshop will conclude by having you develop a plan for your life as a writer in the days, weeks, and months following the workshop.
This course is not available for CE credit hours of any kind. A one-hour lunch break will take place from 12:30-1:30pm ET and there will be a small break in the morning and the afternoon.
