Many of us invest time, money and schlepp-value into summer camp – for our kids. What if we did the same for ourselves? With all our regular routines thrown into disarray, summer can be a great time for us to pause and look inward.

This five-session camp is designed for people who want to begin or return to a writing practice, and would like a nudge. The camp will run for five afternoons over the course of one week. This format will help create momentum and focus. You’ll receive tools and generate material and ideas that you can take with you to expand on your own. For more information, click HERE.

Join Jennie and Captain Kelly Purinton for a special session of Writing from the Self. By taking our pens and paper out to the water, we will have a unique opportunity to access Self Energy. Kelly will sail us to a nearby island and pick up a mooring in a protected cove, where we'll write. There will be prompts to help us connect with deeply buried parts of ourselves, and to write these parts’ stories. (For much more information on Writing from the Self, click here.) After writing and sharing (optional), we’ll sail our way home again. Read more HERE.

This group is for any mother who likes to write – all abilities are welcome! We come together to take a break from everyday stress. We support each other as we articulate the ways being a mother has affected us. It is for women at any point in the life-altering process of being a mom, from the sleepy newborn days to the roller coaster ride of adolescence, to the time when our children are suddenly grown up.
