Writing is good for the soul 

3-day spiritual writing workshop with Mary Ann Henry

A Hands-on writing workshop for beginning and seasoned writers designed to strip away the blocks that keep us from fully realizing our talent .

 ‘An opportunity to go deep within,  to the very essence of who you are, and to bring your story forward. Your story.’

Each soul and each story is unique, perfect and beautiful...

Yet, rarely do we get the chance to slow down, go within and allow the story to unfold. In this hands-on, interactive workshop, participants will take part in creative visualization exercises, guided writing sessions and small group readings. This is not a lecture-format: it’s a workshop that keeps participants fully engaged in the creative process. First drafts can be written on notepads or laptops. Parchment paper, pens and colored pencils are provided for the finished version of your own ‘Book of Life’.

Friday evening: Connecting with nature

Saturday: The story of your soul’s journey

Sunday: Connecting with creativity

Facilitator:  Mary Ann Henry.

Location:

A summer place, a beautiful ocean front vintage 1920’s beach house on Folly Beach, just fifteen minutes from historic Charleston, South Carolina.

Lodging: The first five participants to sign up can stay in the very picturesque (5 bedrooms) Summer Place House for only $125.00 per night or $300.00 for three nights (Friday through Sunday). This house was built by the Coca Cola Family from Atlanta in the 1920’s and is quite picturesque and comfortable. The bedrooms offers old-fashioned corner lavatories and easy access to the bathrooms.
