Do you have a story inside of you waiting to come out? Maybe you have a character formed in your mind, or the premise of an intriguing tale, but you're not sure how to put it down on paper and turn it into a full book. Or maybe you want to write a book, but you don't know where to start. All stories have a beginning, middle and end, and all stories follow a pattern. Together, we will brainstorm your idea, create dynamic characters that are larger than life, and learn the key components that go into a fully completed novel or screenplay. This is an online experience, so an internet connection is needed. Other than that you'll just need pen and paper and of course, creativity. Allow for 60-80 minutes. Other things to note Class will take place on Zoom with audio and visual components. If you need a specific time not listed, feel free to contact me to make a request.

This wonderful experience will begin by meeting at a local grocery store where supplies can be picked up. You will then follow me to the secret trail head (shhhhh). After some warm ups and introductions we will embark on our hike (3 hour) where you can expect the first 45 minutes to be mostly incline but moderate. We will then connect to the Appalachian Trail and continue to the top of Race Mountain for some of the BEST views in the entire Berkshires. These are breath-taking. Lunch/Snacks will be broken out and time can be spent resting, taking photos are chatting. This is the halfway point. From here, will we hike along the ridge for more incredible views and eventually return to the magical hemlock forest. Along the way integrating some Forest Bathing techniques like "walking in Forest Time" and a "Sit Spot". Walking a little further will bring us to a beautiful pond (Plantain Pond) for the option to take a dip (weather permitting). This refreshing time will feel wonderful as we make our way back down the mountain to our cars. The stroll back to our parking is easy and wonderful for conversation and reflection on our amazing hike. Other things to note: * if there is only one person booked the minimum charge is $120 for the 3.5 hour hike. If I book 2 or more the regular charge is honored. Please let me know if you have any special needs. Thank you
