SUMMARY:Wild Precious Writing with Annmarie & Athena\, Sept 1-6\, 2025
DESCRIPTION:This workshop is for anyone at any stage who wants to jump-start their practice and write with more joy and abandon. You can expect to leave with a half-dozen drafted personal essays\, tips for finishing and publishing them\, as well as a rejuvenated sense of self and community. Plus you’ll enjoy inspirational excursions\, hands-on cultural experiences and plenty of delectable meals. \nFeeling underwater? Overwhelmed? Stuck? Let’s write together and find joy. We’ll put pens on the page in order to move past ego and self-doubt and the voices that tell us we’re not enough. This is a workshop where we write\, but it’s not a writing workshop. No one will be required to critique anyone else’s work. We’ll simply help each other fill the pages. \nBecause everyone carries stories inside of them. Sometimes it just takes a little prodding and support to help bring our truth to the page. In this transcendent week in beautiful Tuscany\, we’ll discover how to tap into vulnerability\, heartache\, love\, and loss to share the tales that only surface when we get out of our own way. \nLocation: Città della Pieve PG\, Italy \n\nDates: September 1-6\, 2025\nTrip Price: $3\,795-$4\,295 USD (choose room type upon booking)\n\nAnnmarie & Athena ~ Wild Precious Writing

SUMMARY:Birthing the Book with Athena Dixon  (The Porch)
DESCRIPTION:Let’s be honest. We writers dream that the books that live inside us will find their way into bookstores\, libraries\, and homes\, will come to life in the hands of avid readers under shady hammocks or in favorite chairs. These books will have splendid covers and rave reviews that honor the love we put into the process. But for many aspiring writers\, the journey between finishing a manuscript and launching a book is veiled in mystery. The cogs and wheels of publishing are strangely opaque to the authors themselves. This Birthing the Book Series will both illuminate the process\, and more importantly celebrate authors who have recently “birthed” their books. \nThe Loneliness Files by Athena Dixon is a groundbreaking memoir in essays that asks: what does it mean to be a body behind a screen\, lost in the hustle of an online world? In our age of digital hyper-connection\, Athena Dixon invites us to consider this question with depth\, heart\, and ferocity\, investigating the gaps that technology cannot fill and confronting a lifetime of loneliness. \nThis Birthing the Book session will be moderated by Tonya Abari\, Porch instructor and facilitator of the Nashville Black Storytellers.

SUMMARY:The Person and the Page: Defining Self in the Personal Essay
DESCRIPTION:Exploring personal histories\, secrets\, and experiences in personal essays can be an overwhelming task. It may be easier to retreat into the familiar versus bringing depth and detail to our portrayals on the page. This session provides practical ways to dig below the surface of how we view ourselves and those we choose to include in our work. Participants will leave the session with tools to enrich their current or future projects and perhaps a better understanding of themselves.
