2011 WORKSHOPS


True Secret of Writing

(for students who have studied with Natalie)

December 5 with departure December 10

This course is for students who have studied at least once before with Natalie. The week will be in silence and will consist of a morning, an afternoon, and an evening session. We will alternate between sitting meditation (a cushion or chair is fine - sits are no longer than 30 minutes and some are shorter), walking practice and timed writings. There will be some time for reading with the teachers. Space each day for a nap, a solitary walk, individual writing, sitting, and walking practice will also be provided. Instruction will be available.

Mabel Dodge provides delicious meals. This will be a time to nourish yourself and your practice. I encourage, if possible, that you come a day early and/or stay a day later to have time to ease in and then digest the workshop. Mabel Dodge will offer a discount for those nights. Upon registration you will receive a letter with additional information.

Group is limited to 28 students.

Price: $1369.00 includes five nights lodging in a semi-private room, three delicious home-cooked meals per day and tip.

A $300.00 deposit, due with registration, includes a non-refundable and non-transferable administration fee of $150.00.

2012 WORKSHOPS


Bending to Light and Dark: A Writing and Yoga Retreat

(open for all students)

March 19 with departure March 24

Writing is a physical activity like football, golf, running, tennis. It uses the whole body. The more we are in our bodies the better the lines of writing flow. This retreat aligns us through the wonderful, ancient practice of yoga into the lines of our notebook.

Come with your aching shoulders, bad knees, silly head quirks and gently ease yourself into a bigger place -- the home of our heart/minds, relaxed bodies and the pages of our notebooks.

Each day we will have a full session of yoga and two writing sessions, where we will write in small and large groups, listen deeply to each others, work and learn the writing process. There will also be short meditations and short yoga stretches integrated with the writing sessions.

Come with fast writing pens, note books, and if you have yoga props, please bring them.

Susan Voorhees has taught yoga for over thirty two years. She is a registered Yoga teacher, a licensed massage therapist and has a M.A. in counseling. Natalie began lessons with her in the early eighties when she was writing Writing Down the Bones. Natalie says, “She is a wonderful, very experienced teacher who does injury free yoga, meeting you at your own level of training, whether you are a rank beginner of an upper level yoga practioner. Her approach is down to earth and real. I’m dedicated to studying with her.”

Limit 24 Students

Price: $1369.00 includes 5 nights lodging in a semi-private room, three delicious home cooked meals a day and tip.

A $300.00 deposit, due with registration, includes a non-refundable and non-transferable administration fee of $150.00.
