We are Women of Words,
  Wonderful, wise, soulful words.
  Happy, sad, silly words.
  Vibrant, inspirational, sacred words.
Words we need to share with each other.
Words to write, words to speak among ourselves,
  that we may ultimately enrich our Universe.
 
WomanWords A Different Kind of Writing Group
a series of 2 afternoon sessions AND 1 full-day workshop, facilitated by Marilyn Zembo Day
at Still Point Interfaith Retreat Center, 20 Still Point Rd., Mechanicville, NY (www.stillpointretreatcenter.com)
 
Sessions held:  2 Sunday afternoons- September 21 and October 19, 2008 - 2 to 4:30 pm;
AND Saturday workshop: November 22, 2008- 10 am to 4 pm
 
We listen, we write, we share, we network. Experienced writers and wannabes all welcome. Some of us write for ourselves (journaling),
some for family (keeping stories alive) and some seek publication. Our goal is to  encourage Women’s Voices: we see the world differently
and our visions matter.
 
Each session is themed for inspiration but participants follow their own creative urges. Bring favorite writing instrument (pen, laptop, etc.)
and something on which to write (paper, journal, whatever).  Walk-ins welcome, but only if there’s room-- pre-registration advised
(to ensure that enough materials/ handouts are available!).
 
MARILYN ZEMBO DAY has facilitated writing and creativity workshops for over a decade, both for her WomanWords   collective and at
other venues such as retreat centers, libraries and colleges (including summer conferences of the International Women’s Writing Guild).
Her work has appeared in print and online publications, and several of her essays have aired on public radio.  
 
Cost:  Entire Series- $150 (save $10!); single afternoon sessions- $40 each; full-day session (11/22/08)- $80.
If attending full-day session, bring a lunch.

Register for Series by 9/14/08; single sessions, by 5 days prior to session.

Contact Marilyn Zembo Day at 518-869-1706 or
wmnwords@nycap.rr.com
(NOTE:  At least 6 pre-registrations  for the entire series must be received by 8/15/08 to ensure the series will happen!


Register by 8/15 and take an additional $5 off the Series registration fee!
Some partial scholarships may be available.
