Post-Conference Workshop

PLACING OURSELVES
with
Elizabeth Dodd

June 12-14

Participate in a special, unique workshop at the internationally recognized, award-winning Kachemak Bay Wilderness Lodge across Kachemak Bay on the shores of China Poot Bay.  Inspiration, presentation, and a truly enchanting environment make the Kachemak Bay Wilderness Lodge a perfect place to focus on your writing.

WORKSHOP:

PLACING OURSELVES

Stand in the place where you live
Now face north […]
Think about direction wonder why you haven't before
      REM, "Stand," Green

In the brief community of this workshop, through our writing and conversation, we will come together to talk about work focusing on our relationships to place. How deeply do you know the place where you live and work? How deeply do your roots reach into its soil? Do the shapes or rhythms of your life seem migratory? How do you describe your emotional connection to your landscape, and why?
