The Henry Miller Memorial Library proudly presents: “World Enough & Time: On Creativity and Slowing Down,” hosted by author Christian McEwen, April 6-10, 2014 at the Big Sur Lodge. 

A unique and acclaimed workshop that teaches participants to slow down and reconnect with their creative spirit in an ever-chaotic world.

Here’s what we can promise you:

* A uniquely structured workshop format that’s part meditation, part artistic retreat (testimonials here) led renowned writer, poet, and teacher Christen McEwen (The Nation, Village Voice, Scottish Poetry Library; bio here.)

* Amazing people (even friends for life!)

* The quiet of the redwood forest at the Big Sur Lodge – a world-famous artist’s retreat.

* A robust and illuminating workshop schedule that includes reading, writing, storytelling, movies, a talk from Sarah Rabkin of UC Santa Cruz, writer & environmentalist, and more!  (Full schedule here.)

* Meals, entertainment, cocktail hour, four nights of lodging – and more!

Bottom line: Participants will learn how to find time. Write and draw in your private journal, draft poems, share stories, reconnect to the natural world, turn off your smart phone (we dare you!) and for goodness sakes, slow down!

There could be no better place than the peace and majesty of Big Sur to sink into this medicine for the heart.
