Upcoming Writing Groups

Jena Schwartz’s classes will help you redefine your writing process. Do you believe 10 minutes aren’t enough to cultivate a writing practice? Think again. Those few minutes will change your life. I encourage all writers, beginners, as well as seasoned veterans to dive into Jena’s classes. Your writing and spirit will thank you.

Come find your own points of access into poetry across centuries, cultures, forms, and styles — and (if you wish) try your hand at writing and sharing some poems of your own. Participation can be totally solo and self-paced, or as part of a group of fellow poetry seekers and lovers. Each Dive is different, and includes original poems by Jena and/or your fellow Divers, links to poets who may be new to you, and invitations to stretch your writing wings in all kinds of new ways.

May 4-July 24, 2020Sliding scale: $149 / $179 / $209

There are THREE sessions of Jewels each year: Fall-Winter, Winter-Spring, and Spring-Summer. Many people choose to do multiple sessions, others come and go, while some writers complete one session and move on to other aspects of their creative writing and work. There are no prerequisites for participation other than a commitment to showing up to yourself and your fellow Jewels with whatever emerges.

Week after week, fully engaging in this special group will offer you accountability to your own self-directed goals, as well as the gift of reading, befriending, and and encouraging fellow writers.
