Join us in March 2009 in Ruffe - A Writer's Paradise
Join us for what promises to be an extraordinary five days of reflection, writing, and discovery. A deep immersion into words, the senses, and the self. If you've been searching for the right time and place to open to the possibilities, to the surprises, to the silences inside you (as well as the joyous noise), and maybe even be a little daring, this is it!
Five days, six nights, double occupancy (you may stay longer if you wish and work out details with our hosts).
Delicious meals, including wine with dinner (not included: two lunches on day trips).
Sous chef duty, including trip to the market, if you'd like to cook!
Writing classes morning and afternoon, and group readings in the evening (reading is voluntary). We will not be workshopping existing material, but generating new pieces/fragments (for future work) in whatever form you wish.
Excursions to local farmer’s market and vineyards, the pilgrimage road to Santiago, and nearby 12th/13th century towns and villages such as St. Emilion: beautifully preserved medieval town in a spectacular setting; Bergerac: well-restored old town center, good street market; nearby is Monbazillac, with great views from its chateau.
This is a fantastic opportunity to expand, explore, and experiment as a writer.
"Whatever you can do, or dream you can do, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it. Begin it now.” (Goethe)
