A great writer is conscious of all of the senses. This awareness contributes to a rich and engaging story. In this retreat we will dive into each of our five senses and ask the questions: What are we tasting in our lives? What fragrance opens our hearts? When does a melody turn emotions? When we know this, we can also touch our readers. Join us for three days of poetry, prose and getting in touch with the richness of our present moment. Included in the retreat is a hike in the woods for those who are able. Visit www.fscenter.org to register online. Or, call the Center 608-791-5295.
