The Grounded Writer’s
Summer Sessions
BRING YOUR STORIES TO LIFE
Find your Stories.
Hone your Craft.
Write with Ease.
This summer, let your words feel like home.
Whether you're a writer seeking momentum or a thoughtful soul craving connection and creative renewal, these summer sessions offer the right blend of depth, rhythm, and ease to stay engaged and inspired.
Both classes are grounded in presence, story, and a deep connection to self and place. You choose the one that fits your summer soul.
These classes will start with a few writing prompts to ground and get your writing flowing. In the Craft session, we’ll dive into a short lesson on a particular technique, and then apply it to a fresh writing, or one we are honing. In the Circle session, we’ll explore a theme and write from that inspiration to see what comes.
The Tuesday morning Writer’s Craft sessions are for those wanting to deepen their writing practice, stay consistent, and thrive in a community of other writers. This one is for writers who want to stay connected to their writing, but with an easy summer flow that feels effortless and magical.
The Writer’s Circle is a generative class to write from memory, place, and presence, and find your stories. This one is more for exploring your inner and outer landscapes, and just doing some nourishing writing.

Kind Words From Participants:
-
“A great place to expand your skills.” "I heartily recommend this class as a great place to find your voice and improve and expand your skills. It is appropriate for those with vague goals as well as those with works in progress. The practice of blending history, personal experience, theme, and descriptions really led to some good solid pieces. Through Erica's focused individual guidance, we were each treated like writers instead of students."

“Never fails to make my imagination leap.” “Erica weaves an experiential class of stories, writers, and inspiration together around Sense of Place that never fails to make my imagination leap. Her classes always deepen my connection with my current and past places which drives me to further explore my attachment to places that I would never have considered writing about before."
James McMenamin, Switzerland Heritage Photographer
