The Way of Story in Tuscany, May 24 – 31, 2014

“I’ve never met a person who didn’t have at least one story waiting to be born.”

– Catherine Ann Jones

Join award-winning writer Catherine Ann Jones for a writing experience in Tuscany, a voyage of  self-discovery as well as learning the craft & soul of writing.

“My philosophy of being a teacher is simply to become a catalyst for others to discover themselves and free their own potential, to create the space where magic happens. So the intention is to free the story, fulfilling not my vision, but theirs.”

The workshop – as the book – is for all forms of narrative writing, including memoir, novel, biography, plays, screenplays, narrative poetry or songs.

The Way of Story is a voyage of discovery. For those who know what story they wish to focus on, I suggest they gear each of the exercises to their chosen story.  For those who have yet to find their story, simply by doing each exercise, they will discover their story – or their story will find them.

Workshop Activities:

• Excursions in Tuscany: journaling both the outer & inner journey of discovery
• Eavesdropping Dialogue Exercise
• 2+1 Dialogue Exercise
• Emotional Monologue Exercise
• Soul Dialogues
• Personal Myth

“What matters is to summon the courage and the heart, and write – or teach – from within. Isn’t it time to honor your story that is waiting to be born? Now, all that is needed is to take the plunge, entering The Way of Story…”

The workshop will take place May 24 – 31, 2014, at the Tuscan Renaissance Center. Click for details.
