DWELLINGUP WRITING WORKSHOP
(WESTERN AUSTRALIA)

November 9 – 15, 2008

Set the tranquil beauty of Banksia Springs Retreat, this workshop offers informed support, gentle encouragement and professional advice to aspiring or published authors.   Host Nicki deHoog writes:   
“I think of Barbara's teaching not as teaching as such, but as induction of an energetic state in which people rise above their pre-disposed ideas about how they can write, and they do better, go further and take risks they normally wouldn't take.  Thanks to all the years of personal transformational work with some of the great teachers and philosophers of our time, plus a PhD in Literature, Barbara brings to the work something nobody else has, that I know of or have experienced. 
I encourage you to take advantage of this rare and intimate workshop. You will be amazed at the results.”

Cost:  $1060 AUD (tuition + accommodation)  (+$120 AUD single)
