2008 Workshops offered at Zen Community

 

Writer's Workshop with Sharon Myoku Ankrum
Saturday, April 5, May 3, 2008
10 am to 12 noon

Have you always wanted to write – or you do write – but you've never given yourself enough time? Join us for two hours of writing and sharing. Sharon Myoku Ankrum, who holds two degrees in literature and an MFA in creative writing, will facilitate the workshop.

Ankrum has published poems in journals like The New York Quarterly. She has run writing workshops for teachers through the New Jersey Writing Project in Texas. She is now facilitating a workshop at the Zen Community of Oak Park. To begin, the participants will write prompts. From there, we'll pull from the wealth of ideas that have been crafted by Natalie Goldberg, Julia Cameron, Deena Metzger, and others.

Cost: Dana contribution.
