In a time when attention is fragmented and language is increasingly shaped by reaction and persuasion; writing offers more than a creative practice—it offers a way of deepening our relationship with the world and one another.
Beginning with the question, What kinds of relationships does writing invite us into? Participants will explore how voice emerges through attention, curiosity, and engagement with language, place, and community. Through reflection, generative writing, and shared response, participants will discover that voice is not something to be found, but something revealed through relationship.

The workshop introduces the idea of the erotics of attention—the vitality, attraction, and creative energy that draw us into genuine relationship with what calls us to write. Participants will leave with new writing, practical practices, and a renewed understanding of why their writing matters—not only on the page, but as a lifelong practice of relationship and participation.
