SUMMARY:Writing Retreat
DESCRIPTION:Post-Holiday Reboot: Footprints on a Page – A Writing Retreat \nWondering how to begin a new year? Come enjoy an upbeat\, exploratory writing\nretreat with Sarah Rabkin\, author and illustrator. With a wide variety of prompts\, this\nwill be a great opportunity for new and experienced writers to have fun together while\ntapping into our own creative wisdom. Writing in a spirit of adventurous inquiry can\nyield insights we didn’t know we possessed. It can help us shift perspective\, cultivate\nequilibrium\, find a way forward. In this 5-hour mini-retreat with a break for a potluck\nlunch\, open-ended prompts conducive to poetry and/or prose will provide rich and fun\nopportunities to use writing as a tool for discovery and growth. You will be invited\, but\nnever required\, to read your words aloud: no criticism or feedback\, just the powerful\nexperience of mutual witness without judgment. There’s an oft-quoted adage among\nwriters\, probably originating with the novelist E.M. Forster: “How do I know what I\nthink till I see what I say?” Here’s your chance!  Bring a notebook ready to be filled. \nMaximum 15 participants\, so register early by or before December 10.\nAfter December 10\, registrations open up to the wider community.\nTo register for the retreat\, please send email confirmation to northbrae3@gmail.com\nand deliver or send a check to the church office made out to Northbrae Community\nChurch. The fee is on a sliding scale from $50-$75. If your financial situation puts this\nout of range for you\, please contact Rev. Elizabeth Hutchins (eohutchins@gmail.com)\nto make an alternative arrangement. \nCancellation deadline: By or before January 17\, 2026 – Full refund. After 1/17/26\,\nrefund only if you find someone to replace you. \nSarah Rabkin is the author and illustrator of What I Learned at Bug Camp: Essays on Finding a Home in the World (Juniper Lake Press\, 2011) and the unpublished manu-\nscript The Quiet Activist: Healing the World by Doing What You Love. A former fac-\nulty member in writing and environmental studies at UC Santa Cruz\, she currently \nworks as a freelance editor\, writing coach\, and workshop leader. She has degrees in\nbiology (Harvard University) and science communication (UC Santa Cruz).
