Explore Your Hidden Potential as a Writer at Your Own Pace: Homestudy

In this new program developed for 2022, 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. Originally recorded in March 2022, in this self-paced homestudy version you will have the opportunity to use the modules however you see fit, setting aside a day or even an entire period of days to devote to writing and to exploration.


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:

 

  • Setting an intention for writing 
  • Finding the appropriate forms to share my ideas (i.e., article/blog, book, or all of the above)
  • Self-Publishing vs. Finding a publisher or a media outlet 
  • Crafting a pitch and a proposal
  • Strategies for addressing “writer’s block”
  • Finding your flow as a writer 

 

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 but may be counted towards the Institute for Creative Mindfulness' Certificate of Expressive Arts Therapy if you are in that program.
