About the Presentation
This one-day presentation is for those who wish to communicate their ideas and passions effectively through writing. Because we live in a time of extraordinary urgency, when we must contemplate the future of the Earth community, it is essential that those with relevant information speak and be heard, received, and understood. Writing in service of such a goal involves the development of certain skills, disciplines, and knowledge-as well as other less tangible but perhaps even more important capacities. This day will be especially valuable for those who wish to commit themselves to the life and labor of writing as an intellectual and artistic discipline, as well as a spiritual path, a sustained engagement with the deep mysteries of inspiration, creativity, and communication.
