At the retreat, participants will choose from three workshops: 鈥淧oetry in Motion,鈥 鈥淔inding Your Voice in Fiction鈥 or 鈥淲riting Your Story: A Memoir Workshop.鈥 After choosing, participants will discuss the craft of creative writing. They will also write from prompts and share their writings in read-around sessions.
鈥淲riting is typically a solitary act,鈥 said Peter Murphy, Murphy Writing founder and Stockton adjunct professor. 鈥淲hen writers come together in a supportive community that encourages them to push their boundaries, they often experience breakthroughs. The unique exercises will allow this supportive program to benefit both beginning and experienced writers. The workshops create an encouraging community of writers where all feel welcome.鈥
Many former participants recall the retreat to have been a memorable experience.
