What's included:
• 5 nights' accommodation in Edinburgh, Scotland.
• Light breakfast each morning and three in-house dinners
• All workshops and writing sessions
• Full access to the self-guided "Story - The Spiritual Storytelling Course" ($199 value)
About the workshops :
The workshops will focus on unearthing your story and honing your craft. I’ll give light instruction, we’ll do some writing practices together, and then you’ll have free time to write on your own. Or — to not write at all. Because sometimes, the best practice is to put the pen away and get inspired in other ways. I’ll teach you how to attune to what your creative mind needs and how to use that attuning to write in a way you never thought was possible!
