Merry Barn Writers’ Retreat is excited to again partner with Elizabeth Potter as she offers the second session of Writing from the Heart: Finding Your Authentic Voice. This workshop offers adult writers of all abilities an opportunity to get the creative juices flowing, overcome the internal critic, and let heart and soul flow out onto the page! Just as importantly, it also provides a tight knit, supportive community of fellow writers with whom to share the fruits of your labor. Elizabeth will present proven writing prompts and techniques to tickle your muse and coax even the most hesitant voice onto the page. 

Elizabeth Potter is a teacher and poet residing in Midcoast Maine. She is also the Coordinator of the Maine College Transitions Program of Lincoln County. Her most recent collection of poetry T’ai Chi of Leaves was released by Moon Pie Press in September of 2016. Her poems have been widely published in literary journals both locally and nationally, most recently in On the Issues Magazine and Yankee Magazine. Elizabeth is a certified Amherst Writers and Artists workshop leader (amherstwriters.com) and has been leading creative writing workshops for all ages for the past twenty years. 

Workshops take place via Zoom on Monday evenings from 5:30-8:30 p.m. This session will run from Sept. 14 through Oct. 5.
