Gathering the Harvest: A Writing Workshop

with Leighann Rechtin

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.

Ordinary Wonders: A Writing Workshop

with Leighann Rechtin

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.
