Men Writing 2021:
Of Sound Mind and Heart
(Virtual Writing Retreat)
Sponsored by Ohio Chapter of Illuman
January 8-9,
& January 16, 2021
REGISTRATION IS NOW CLOSED ⇩
BROTHERS,
Please consider joining the Ohio Chapter of Illuman for our fourth annual writing retreat. This year's event will be held virtually.
Writing is one of the most powerful forms of communication, and surprisingly enough, the person who gets the most from writing is often the author. If we are going to be Of Sound Mind and Heart, we have to know what truly matters to us.
We offer this retreat annually to help men get in touch with their inner voice and to help them find expression through metaphor and writing. Together we will share work that is both deep and meaningful.
Men with all levels of writing experience are welcome.The retreat will take place via Zoom and will include a variety of engaging sessions and writing styles, although poetry will be its main focus. This is a pencil-to-paper event, not a teaching course.
The retreat begins Friday, Jan. 8 at 7 p.m. Eastern. It concludes at 6 p.m. Saturday Jan. 9. We will also be meeting the following Saturday Jan. 16 for a two-hour post-retreat council 10 a.m to 12 p.m for processing and feedback.
We ask you to attend the entire retreat if possible.
Registration is now Open!
