Can Your Writing Become a Viable Spiritual Practice?
with David James Duncan
In this five-week writing lab, award-winning author David James Duncan will offer strategies for adding a contemplative dimension to your writing life, along with straight ahead literary strategies reinforced by generative writing exercises. In his words, “Most of my best nonfiction pieces were born of my nearly life-long attempt to treat creative writing as a daily spiritual practice, and in the scores of workshops I’ve taught I’ve found this practice can sometimes be taught. I’ve also been pleased to discover that even those to whom it couldn’t be taught underwent a radical change of perspective or expansion of consciousness, and enjoyed a workshop I said would, like all my workshops, be conducted like a spiritual retreat.” This is a live, participatory lab limited to 28 writers. Sessions will include time for generative writing and sharing in small groups.

More to come from Writing the Wild Labs
Writing the Wild Labs are offered throughout the winter and spring. These are small group, short term, intensive workshops around a particular theme or topic. Writing the Wild cohort members receive discounted registration for all labs.
One lab participant says:
"Who knew that after lockdown I would want to get back on Zoom, but somehow Krissy Kludt has created this magical space where I discovered other writers like me, who want to deeply explore the idea of place and our connection with it (and each other)…. Just a few hours in the Cloud and then it’s back down to Earth, where I go outside and try to understand (and describe) all the beings on this planet we call home."
