Why Writing Through The Wilderness?

It’s easy to take roads for granted. In some places, they are convenient paths between points solidified as more permanent routes; in others, they are the result of careful planning with homes and stores springing up around the roads we build. Our GPS system knows just how to get us from point A to point B. 

But sometimes, we encounter wilderness, places where there is no map, no pre-determined course. Whether we find these wild places overwhelming or an adventure depends on how well prepared we are to make our way.

The same thing is true of communication. We have proverbs and stories that meander along the paths of human connection, and we have reports and analyses that follow more formulaic routes. But new ideas require new expression. And whether we find this overwhelming or exciting depends again on how prepared we are to make our way through the uncharted creative terrain we want to traverse.

You are innovators and creators, working towards expressing new ideas in a new context, inviting others to expand their horizons alongside you. This course is designed to offer you the tools you need to pathfind your own writing process - to understand when to make use of well-worn trails and where to venture off in your own direction, how to navigate obstacles in your path, how to recognize a true impasse vs an opportunity for innovation, and how to help others who come behind you do the same. 

Come explore with us!

What to Expect:

Writing Through The Wilderness takes place over three Saturday workshops that combine learning theory and writing principles with practical exercises. Participants are assigned a personal topic of their choosing and finish the course with a fully fleshed-out piece of writing. Extended one-on-one coaching is available as an add-on for those who want to hone in on a specific problem or a particularly tricky spot in their writing.

In this writing workshop, you’ll have access to a creative learning community, personalized coaching, and the tools to help you gain self-awareness and overcome your writing blocks. You'll learn your unique creative process, gain confidence as a writer, and practice giving and receiving constructive feedback in a supportive cohort.
