Workshops
Our practice is derived from Writing Down the Bones by Natalie Goldberg ... writing spontaneously in the flow.

PURPOSE
Stretching our writing experience! The most popular activities for the CC Writers are our high-quality, affordable workshops. These half- or full-day sessions are open to members and non-members alike, although attendance may be limited.
During these workshops, writers will share in the experience of short, fun, insightful writing exercises, discussion and review, reading workshop writing to one another (optional), inspiration from many directions, and lots of encouragement.
CCW Members always receive advance notice and a discount on workshops. Members may also be eligible for scholarships.
WHEN and WHERE
CCW-sponsored workshops generally occur quarterly, usually on a Saturday. During the pandemic we were on Zoom. If we are able to hold in-person workshops locations are varied. We alternate in central Colorado between Salida, Buena Vista, and Leadville, using other locations on special occasions. Get free email alerts! by subscribing on the Home Page of this website. Better yet, join this cozy group of writers to lock in a discount for the workshops! And first come, first served with the events that are "limited" in numbers.
