A WRITER'S WEEK in the California
Wine Country with author Phyllis Theroux
Author
Phyllis Theroux will conduct her annual Nightwriters residential seminar at the
Bishop’s Ranch in the wine country of Healdsburg, California.
Participants will
meet in the main ranch house where Theroux (author of the memoir, The Journal Keeper (Grove, $14.95)) will show you how to use your journal as a source of inspiration and take you through a series of exercises designed to crack open your imagination and get your pen flowing across the page. Mornings are for seminar work where we will work in both fiction and non-fiction; afternoons are free for individual writing. Included is an optional morning and afternoon gentle yoga class, taught by popular Richmond, Virginia yoga instructor, Barbara Olin (www.goodchiyoga.com).
This seminar is open to professional and aspiring writers, enrollment is limited to 20 participants. Cost: $1,200, includes five days at the Bishop’s Ranch, with private room and bath, all meals, yoga instruction and the seminar.
