Ordinary Wonders: A Writing Workshop

with Leighann Rechtin

Next session: November 14th, 2026

$57 More Info

Inspired by Wendy Cope's beloved poem The Orange, this workshop explores the extraordinary hidden within the everyday.

What small moments bring delight? What familiar objects deserve a second look? What ordinary experiences have quietly shaped your life?

Through poetry, reflection, and generative writing, we'll practice paying attention to the simple gifts that often go unnoticed. Together we'll discover how wonder is not something we find but something we cultivate.

Come prepared to slow down, notice deeply, and celebrate the beauty of ordinary things.

Gathering the Harvest: A Writing Workshop

with Leighann Rechtin

Next session: October 17th, 2026

$57 More Info

Autumn invites us to pause and take stock. What has grown? What has ripened? What are we ready to gather and carry forward?

In this reflective writing workshop, we'll use seasonal imagery, guided prompts, and shared reflection to explore the harvests of our lives. Together we'll consider what has nourished us, what lessons have emerged, and what we may be ready to release as the seasons shift.

This workshop is less about productivity and more about acknowledgment. It is an opportunity to honor where you've been and notice what is ready to come with you into the next season.

 

CANCELLATION POLICY: Tuition is non-refundable. Tuition can be credited towards a future class if the student withdraws 14 days prior to the beginning of the start of the class and must be used within one (1) year of receipt. There is also no refund for individually missed classes.

Youth Class

Dates: Sunday Sep 13, Sep 20, Oct 4, Oct 18, Nov 1, Nov 15 (6 classes)

As Audre Lorde says, we need to “recognize and nurture the creative parts of each other without always understanding what will be created.” In this six-week circle, we’ll explore the creative parts of ourselves that are familiar and that are new, and get excited about what we might build together through creative community. Using writing and other crafts, we’ll dig deep to discover our own unique kinds of magic and self-expression.

Please note that the first two classes meet one week apart, and subsequent classes are every other week.

PRICING POLICY: We use the Green Bottle Method for program pricing. This pay-what-you-can model is flexible based on your financial security, constraints, or hardship. Please see our Pricing Model page to learn more before making your selection.
