Squam Art Workshops
Registration for Squam Art Workshops 2011 is now open.
The creative community at Squam has been transformative for me, and I can hardly wait to be back this fall.
Here's what I'm teaching:
Tell It
If you are dreaming of telling a story onstage, or just spinning a riveting tale for your friends over dinner, this workshop is for you.
During this interactive and engaging day, you will learn how to find interesting and important stories in your own treasure chest of experiences and memories, and how to help them look their best before sending them out into the world.
You will complete the day with a story that is ready to share: around the fireplace of your cabin, in quiet confidence with your best friend, or on the Squam Coffee House stage.
It's your story. Tell it.
Care & Keeping
Doing creative work is a distinctive kind of journey. Creativity has its own cycles and seasons, its own storms to weather and sunny days to celebrate. The Care and Keeping of Creative Souls introduces you to ways of caring for yourself (and your friends) along the journey that are both practical and profound. It will give you tools for navigating the terrain of a creative life.
Well-cared-for artists are prolific artists. Come join us and learn how to get unblocked and untangled, how to keep yourself healthy and balanced all along the way.

My registration for the Fall session is sitting impatiently on my kitchen table, waiting for Monday morning. Your classes are my top choices and you're the teacher I want to have most of all:) Can't wait to meet you this September!
Liz-- Thanks for registering for my classes! I can't wait to be with you there.
I'M THERE! see you in June!
Ooh, just called my girlfriend in VA and talked to her about coming together! I would love to meet you, Jen and take classes with you. Now to see how to wrangle the finances of it. Fingers crossed and calculator at the ready.
WOO HOO!
Ohhh how I would love to do this!
So, I finally came across your website and find myself nervous and a bit anxious about going to Squam when I've never been to the East Coast or taken such a leap all by myself without knowing a single soul. I'm a mama who lives in the Pacific Northwest on a quest of healing who, at one time, loved to write and act and play with melted crayons. I just finished reading some of your stuff and know that I am in the right place making the right decision and simply cannot wait until I carve out the time to attend Squam in the Fall. I don't think many of us, or maybe it's just me, really pay attention to our creative self and how important it is to replenish it for ourselves, our families, our world. What is it about our 30's that makes us become more self-aware and confident and brave? I sincerely hope my 40's are more of it and that with each decade my beauty within and understanding of the universe grows and grows. I look forward to meeting with and sharing some really, really precious time together.
Have a lovely summer until then.
Many of my cabinmates last fall spoke so lovingly about you that I had to find out more. After following your site and reading your beautiful, honest words I look forward to meeting you in class this September.
