Calling all Pagan writers and want-to-be writers!
Have you ever made a resolution to start a writing practice for it to fall by the wayside after just a few days? How many times have you bought a notebook or beautiful new journal for it to sit blank or with only a few lines penned? There are as many reasons to start a writing practice as there are Pagans who are struggling to open the door into one. Join author and Druid priest Diane (Gallagher) Cacciato to begin your journey to finding your own writing practice. Students will examine the essence of ritual against the backdrop of the Wheel of the Year and use that to enter into the satisfying world of the writer. Through daily writing exercises and readings, and weekly class discussions, students will develop their own writing rituals and practices and will come out of this class with the first draft of a piece that can be shared or performed in ritual.
