Finding Your Why: a Sensory Journey into Creative Nonfiction with Leigh Claire Schmidli
Guided by Leigh Claire Schmidli, this hands-on creative nonfiction workshop centers on attention, curiosity, and the senses. Participants will step outside for a relaxed stroll and on-the-spot writing in the park, building the habit of noticing what the world is offering. Afterward, the group returns to the classroom to sift through those observations and surface insights that may be working beneath the surface. The process can spark a brand-new essay or breathe life into work set aside, and it offers a repeatable approach for both starting and revising nonfiction. Open to writers at any stage. Schmidli teaches creative writing at Eastern Kentucky University, frequently facilitates workshops for the Kentucky Foundation for Women and other nonprofits, and her poetry, fiction, and lyric essays have appeared in Ruminate Magazine, Phoebe, and the Los Angeles Review. Cost is $35.
