Through in-class writing prompts and weekly writing suggestions, you will be able to more fully develop characters, describe scenes, and go deeper in your writing than you ever imagined.

Sixth Annual Women's Escape Weekend
Join us January 15-17 for rediscovery and relaxation. The holiday chaos is over, and it is time to rejuvenate. In order to achieve this goal, the solution is to get away by yourself or grab a few other close family members or friends. The Women’s Escape is a refreshing way to take a break and enjoy meeting others as well as exploring The Sanctuary and Kiawah Island. Learn from experienced speakers on a variety of topics, and have time to indulge in our Five Star Spa. Proceeds of the event will benefit the Center for Women.
