Summer Programs

For many of us summer is a season when we can

actually designate some focused time for our

own learning and exploration.

This is what the Summer Intensives are all about—

taking a week or more to concentrate on a

new learning or deepening an ongoing pursuit;

energizing our minds and spirits through

immersion in a creative and intellectual journey;

and building the momentum to carry us into an

ongoing practice.

Our summer starts in June with our ever special

Women’s Words: Summer Writing Week and

continues into July and August with courses in

the visual arts, personal exploration, the creative

process itself, and languages.

Find the courage to

create this summer.

Beyond the BoxEXGEN 3804su1Virginia Stephen, instructorMonday–Friday, July 23–27, 9 am–4 pm Fee: $395 + GST = $414.75

The more we discover about how people learn and think, the more we realize that the development of our creative minds through innovative activities and processes is key to our success. Explore and experience the design and implementation of arts-based activities and learn the valuable thinking processes behind them. Designed for facilitators, researchers, project leaders, and artists who want to better understand the creative process and learn how to help others develop their creative capacities.

The Morning Dream CircleEXGEN 3826su1Kelly Polanski, instructorTuesday–Friday, August 7–10, 9 am–noonFee: $285 + GST = $299.25

Unlock the mysteries of your unconscious by learning to understand the hidden meaning of your dreams. Bounce out of bed, write down your dream and bring it to this morning workshop where we’ll explore your dream’s structure, interpretation, and life influence. Swiss Psychiatrist Carl Gustav Jung said that in understanding our dreams, “the momentary life of consciousness can once more be brought into harmony with… the natural law of [one’s] own being.” Let your dreams express their mystery, seed your imagination, and find integrative expression to enrich your life and nourish your soul.

Creative Cross-TrainingEXGEN 3827su1Margaret Macpherson, instructorTuesday–Friday, August 7–10, 1–4 pmFee: $285 + GST = $299.25

Spontaneity and embracing the importance of play are central components of this expressive arts course. We’ll begin by creating and reflecting on a piece of written work. Then we’ll reinterpret the written work into new media (painting, soundscapes, sculpting) to gain a deeper understanding and new insight. This class operates on the mandate of low skills, high sensitivity. In other words, you don’t have to be a writer, sculptor or painter to participate.

Unlock your muse and tap into your authentic writer’s voice through the practice of different types of meditation and reflection exercises. Learn how to connect with the creativity of the human mind—and write from this open heart/mind place. We will learn how to use meditation to release writer’s block; write from the heart/mind without censorship and discover how to access our creativity. This will be our basis to write poetry and prose.

Knowledge of meditation is not needed, just an openness to sit, reflect and be guided into different meditative journeys to help unleash our inner creativity and free us from writer’s block.

The Writer’s Quest: Breaking Conventions in CreativityEXGEN 3759sp1Kim Echlin and Sandra Campbell, instructorsSaturday and Sunday, June 2 and 3, 9 am–4 pmFee: $325* + GST = $341.25*$285 if registering in more than one course

Sandra Campbell and Kim Echlin share their discoveries of alternative ways to think about creativity. Kim will begin with the ancient Sumerian story of Inanna and use it as a model for writing the woman’s quest. Sandra will tell the quest of Georgina Stirling from Newfoundland who in 1888 broke with convention to pursue her passions. These stories, as well as examples of contemporary women’s creative work, will be used along with in-class guided writing exercises to offer you a way to develop your voice and writing.

A reader will be provided that includes selections from all the work to be discussed.

Develop a new awareness of the stories that collect inside each of us and the unique dynamics of the body/mind with memory, feelings, images, and the imagination that we can harvest to write stories. In a spirit of relaxation and play, Sandra offers exercises that combine easy body stretches to awaken the body with poems and images that unleash memory, the imagination, and spontaneity. Then in-class writing exercises enable participants to discover and write their inside stories. Aspects of the writing craft required for developing character, place and plot are also included.

Wear loose, comfortable clothing and bring an empty notebook.

Crafting the Postcard StoryEXGEN 3757sp1Jannie Edwards, instructorMonday–Friday, June 4–8, 9 am–noonFee: $325* + GST = $341.25*$285 if registering in more than one course

You might call postcard story the love child of poetry and prose: a combination of the compressed symbolic charge of a lyric poem with a remarkably wide choice of narrative techniques. Charles Baxter eloquently evokes the “less is more” principle of the postcard story: “Some other world is making its way into these brief, reticent, meticulous stories.” Working in a welcoming, supportive, creative environment, participants will engage with a variety of prompts to craft short but intensely powerful “flash fictions.”

Participants will be invited to bring photographs, images and artifacts to use as inspiration for stories. Writers will develop between three to seven postcard stories.

Writing Personal EssaysEXGEN 3176sp1Shirley A. Serviss, instructorMonday–Friday, June 4–8, 9 am–noonFee: $325* + GST = $341.25*$285 if registering in more than one course

In personal essays you are the authority on your life. No outlines or footnotes are required, just the ability to reflect on your life experiences. This class will explore the basics of the personal essay and where to find markets. You’ll have an opportunity to write and share your work in a group setting. Inspiration will be provided. This class will appeal to writers of all ages and at all stages of their career who are interested in memoir or creative nonfiction.

Remaking the World Through Creative NonfictionEXGEN 3447sp1Janice Williamson, instructorMonday–Friday, June 4–8, 9 am–noonFee: $325* + GST = $341.25*$285 if registering in more than one course

Creative nonfiction attends to the real by using literary and storytelling effects that tune your ear to language and voice while drawing on a documentary approach. Through short talks, dialogue, in-class writing, and readings, we’ll ask you to refine your subject and write about what matters. We’ll also investigate this wide-ranging genre that can include: reportage and testimony, memoir and the journal, biographies and family histories, the lyric or segmented essay, photo or image/text essay, opinion essays and cultural analysis, science and literary journalism, travel and environmental writing.

Be prepared to read aloud from your new work to our supportive class audience focused on constructive critical feedback.

Do you find yourself always writing the same kind of poem? Are you limited by rhyme or ‘free’ verse and want to break out and try something new?

Use a sense of place to spark and shape your writing. How does filtering writing through a particular sense of place affect the work and what does writing gain in the process? How have writers expressed ideas about travel, or natural and built environments? We will read and discuss place-related writing as well as participate in writing exercises. You will have an opportunity to have your work critiqued by the group. While the emphasis in this seminar will be on producing new work, participants can work with the instructor on revisions. Suitable for emerging writers as well as more experienced ones.
