Experience a rare one day Haven Writing Workshop at ModernWell this November…  ModernWell invites you to spend a day working with New York Times bestselling author and founder of the acclaimed Haven Retreats, Laura Munson…breathing your writing alive (and yourself too!) No matter where you are in your creative journey, Laura inspires you to find clearer intention, and the permission to explore, expand, and be HUNGRY for your creative self-expression.  You do NOT have to be a writer to come.  Just a seeker. “I believe fiercely that writing should be up there with diet and exercise in the realm of preventive wellness and personal transformation.” – Laura Munson  From the trenches of “failure,” to the altitude of “success,” Laura has much to share about the power of writing and she offers it all in a safe, nurturing, challenging, and inspiring environment that can change your life.  Come get a taste of what 400 people from all over the world have experienced in the woods of Montana, ranked in the top 3 writing retreats in the US.   What to expect: We will spend the day doing writing exercises, all designed to build upon one another, and all designed to help you find your most charged topics, their entry-points, and their form...in the way that only YOU can write.  You will create a map that you can use as a guide in whatever sort of writing project you would like to pursue, whether it’s journaling, writing that book you’ve always wanted to write, a blog, essays, and on and on. The most important things to bring are your heart in your hand, your vulnerability, your courage, your kindness, your trust, and your willingness to dig deep and play on the page.  Come find your voice and set it free in a safe and supportive group of kindreds!   When:  Saturday, November 3rd 9:30-4:30—all attendees need to be there for the entirety of the program.  We can’t begin or end without you, so please plan accordingly.  (ie: traffic, business, kids, phone calls, social media etc.)  Arrive 9:00 to begin workshop at 9:30 sharp. Where: ModernWell - 2909 S. Wayzata Blvd Minneapolis, MN 55405 What to bring: Pen Notebook or journal Laptops if you must, but Laura prefers good old fashioned pen and paper Bag lunch or you can purchase lunch at ModernWell—we will have a lunch break, but in the interest of keeping us on topic and fully immersed, it will be expeditious.  Laura will be doing a Q&A during lunch so if you have specific questions, that will be the time to ask them. We will provide beverages and light snacks throughout the day.  Feel free to bring your own as well. We will be hosting a social hour at the end of the day, for those of you who would like to stay until 5:30.  We will have sparkling water and wine.  If you would like something different to drink, feel free to bring it. Laura will have signed books for sale.  (Cash and check only: $15.00)   Registration: (these workshops fill fast!)
