Writing Workshops

"The most valuable part [of the workshop] was the compassionate, encouraging, non-judgemental atmosphere.”
—Chris

“I have a pocketful of new writing to take home!”
— John Hurley

Workshops are offered as one day gatherings, weekend classes and ongoing evening meetings. Workshops range from poetry intensives to classes focusing on Writing and the Spiritual Life: Finding Your Voice by Looking Within. Should your group be interested in a workshop with Patrice, please contact her.

Through many months, I've been blessed to have Patrice as my writing coach as I've worked on a new book. She is sensitive, supportive, intelligent, and incisive. I respect her writing, her wisdom, and her coaching.”
—Frank Andrews, Ph.D., author: The Art and Practice of Loving
