A Taste of the Slow Burn

What this is

Four weeks of writing in community, where the pressure is to be present—not to produce. For anyone who wants to make things and has lost the thread: you show up gently and regularly, you don’t force anything, and the work accumulates anyway. A taste of the full four-month course, condensed into a month you can feel.

The four Saturdays

Where we’ll go.

Week One · July 4

You are here

Start where you are—no need to make it perfect before you begin.

Week Two · July 11

Check engine light

What is your creative engine telling you? We take inventory of what fuels you and what keeps you running.

Week Three · July 18

Joy ride

Permission to play. The generative heart of the month—we write for no reason but the joy of it.

Week Four · July 25

Let’s roll

Pacing for the long haul—how to keep going once the month ends, and how to be in this with other people.
