Writer's Workshop

Writing Workshop with Davyne Verstandig

This is an invitation to “finding your inner sky” through writing.

Whether you have never written, or you write fiction, non-fiction, memoir, poetry or an unlabeled genrecome follow your path there with words, nature, community and silence. Find your place of quiet attention. Discover the vehicles of pen and paper.

Write with me on 300 glorious acres in Lakeside, CT at Camp Washington which offers a natural and restorative setting. Explore the land and your sky.

We are living in a fractured, divisive and surreal world and it is exhausting. Write from your sky, not AI and you will experience your mind, spirit, and creativity is in the ink.
