The Way of Story : the Craft & Soul of Writing
(for all forms of narrative writing/ all levels)
The Way of Story offers an integrative approach to writing narrative, combining solid craft with experiential inner discovery.
“We’ve become lopsided living only in our heads. Writing, in order to serve the soul, must integrate outer craft with the inner world of intuition and feeling.”
- Catherine Ann Jones, NY TIMES
Craft alone is not enough. No other writing workshop offers the solid craft to guarantee a good story along with the intangible inner dimensions of writing.
- For writers of all levels & all narrative forms including plays, screenplays, stories, novels, & memoir
- Seven Steps to Story Structure
- Create memorable characters & dialogue
- Balancing craft with intuitive skills
“Your structure gave my story wings. I’ve never been so clear on what I want to write.”
Linda L., Ann Arbor, MI
“At last, a working, professional writer who teaches writing!”
Joe S., San Francisco
The Food:
For us at Il Chiostro, helping our guests to experience the food in one of the earth`s richest, most sensual areas is our pleasure. Chianti, the part of Tuscany where we are, is Italy`s famous wine and olive oil producing region. Here we want to expose you to the wonders of simple Italian cooking. We pick wild herbs to create our own twist on a pasta dish, shop in local markets for fresh mozarella and peccorino, pick mulberries from the tree in our garden for tarts and search for the best of Tuscany to serve you at our dinner tables. Tuscan cuisine is a simple art that has been refined over the centuries to surprise our palates while the wine comforts our souls. Come explore what food can really be all about.
