Weekend Writing Workshops

I’ve been going to Yosemite all my life and worked there for two years for Yosemite Institute so I’m really excited to share this place I love with others, especially during times there are fewer visitors so you can really feel the peace and power of the place.

Writing in Yosemite Fall Trips

I am offering two kinds of writing journeys to Yosemite this fall. One is the regular trip where we drive and carpool if possible and the other will include traveling there by train.

For all the trips we will stay at the Yosemite Bug Resort, www.yosemitebug.com in Midpines, 25 miles outside Yosemite Valley. We will have our own cabin divided into two rooms each having three beds and it’s own bathroom. Register early these trips are limited to 6 people. Meals are separate (you can either cook in the resort kitchen or there is a really good cafe on site). We will take the bus into Yosemite Valley on Saturday and spend that day wandering, writing and absorbing the beauty and creative inspiration of the place.

Traveling by Train Trips

This three day trip leaves early Friday morning to take Amtrak’s San Joaquin route boarding in Martinez if you are coming from Sonoma County or Emeryville if you are coming from San Francisco. Amtrax provides bus service connecting with the train. We will start the writing workshop on the train on Friday and wrap it up on return trip. (Contact me for travel details from your location).
