Yes. This was a workshop that was truly different from all others I have taken.  Not only did my mind get fed to a sumptuous feast of information, my body was fed nourishing, delectable food by a special lady in the kitchen.

I am speaking of a StoryStudio  workshop held at Ragdale in Lake Forest, Illinois.

The written and spoken material made me think, the students and staff encouraging, and the grounds at Ragdale inviting, all adding to a very productive workshop experience.

I can’t claim I accomplished pages and pages of writing, but discussing works by Anne Lemott and Joan Beard have set me on a path which I hope will soon lead to measurable progress in my current memoir, “The Song of the Mountains.”
