A fabulous Poetry Adventure designed to offer profound leaps in your poetry skills & Judyth-curated FAB experiences in my FAV places!!

All Genres Welcome!

This innovative and inspiring Writing Adventure  will galvanize the luscious journey of developing your Voice, style,  whether novel, memoir or poetry or essay collection.

Vitalize and refresh your work and yourself, as journals and pens in hand, we meet in the sweet morning air for a deep dive into poetry craft—building attention to image and musicality, practicing traditional poetry forms—& my jampacked handouts!

Then we embark on lively quests to fine tune our seeing, listening, scent awareness, and sense of touch, so the exquisite, vivid textures of our place come into our writing.

Plus! I’ll be sharing San Miguel history and stories…offering us an intimate, vivid experience of our place to weave into our work!

We’ll get easy with coming to the page, develop practices of verbal alertness, of generosity, passion, and vision.

We’ll eat while writing, write while walking: pour ourselves onto the page!

You’ll leave with a thick bundle of fresh approaches, ready and invigorated to hop aboard the freight train of your literary longing, and ride successfully to your desired destination!
