2025 Retreat Sessions

*Saturday’s Holistic Track at Steffen Thomas Museum of Art

SPECIAL EVENT: HOLISTIC WRITING

Sat, February 22, 2025

Part of the Georgia Writers Museum’s 4th annual Writers Retreat, the Holistic Writing track encourages new and experienced writers to explore   our place in the natural world: do we exist as a part of nature? Or outside of nature, experiencing the environment as a tourist or a consumer? The title of the exhibit, Touch Grass, is a play on the internet phrase “touch grass” or “go touch some grass” that is said as a criticism to someone who has been online too much and are disconnected from reality/the real world.

10:30 – 11:45 am Poetry Workshop with Josina Guess

1:30 – 2:45 pm Choreographing Writing: Using Dance to Create Story with Carla Walters
