Join creative writing facilitator Kathy Dunn and fellow travelers in exploring writing and the world of "Slow" in the ancient and vibrant city of Orvieto Italy.
Beginning and seasoned writers alike will find new ways to approach writing and life in this week-long adventure.
Orvieto Italy, 2013
"Wow! I haven’t been seriously writing in years. I am bursting with story. You make me want to write again. Thanks."
-- Annie Kosh
"Cindy and I once traveled through a hurricane to get to workshop, and Peter once held space with a tornado. And if memory serves me correctly, we also traveled through an ice storm - so there's not much that will stop us writers from being in the presence of Kathy’s illustrious leadership!"
-- Tanya Shersnow
Everyone has stories; everyone is a storyteller - and writing begins with these stories. I help people build on the natural story-telling abilities they already have.
Helping people write involves knowing that whenever a person puts pen to paper, they are saying something important. Whether it is fiction or fact, dialog or college essay: anything that is worth the effort it takes to write is important.
What I love about my work is the courage people bring to their writing. What I love about my work is what I see when a person first looks up after reading something they have just written – when they have discovered, through their writing, something they hadn't fully understood. Whether the participant is a confident writer or an uncertain beginner, adult or child, writing brings new images, new stories, and new understandings into the world.
