B Print Ink Writers' Room

Fall 2022 Update

Welcome to the B Print Ink Writers' Room!

I've been away from teaching and mentoring for a few months. That's because I landed an Independent Artist's Award from SK-Arts and I've been rewriting a children's novel I wrote more than a decade ago. But I'm almost finished so my attention is on giving back to community. Two workshops on offer this fall, A Journey in Meditation and Creativity and Letters to Earth. And I am booking Creativity Consults at present.

A Journey in Meditation and Creativity

10:00 AM to 1:00 PM CST Saturday, November 5

Early Bird Sales: Register by Oct 20 $65

Regular: Register by November 4 $75

Late: Register after November 4 $125

Meditation is a proven tool for improving focus, calming the body and mind, and tapping into the subconscious -- all of which can help a writer meet the challenges that arise in a writing life. And there are many ways to meditate – breathwork, creative visualization, mindfulness, walking, and more.

A student of Natalie Goldberg, a former student of Regina Insight Meditation group leader, Dana Anjali, of one of the last of the Beat Poets, the late Diane di Prima, of Creative NonFiction Collective co-founder, Betsy Warland, and, most recently, of Faye Fitzgerald and the Training In Power Academy, Bernadette will share some thoughts, ideas, and exercises she’s gathered to build and maintain her writing practice for more than 20 years.

Workshop: Letters to Earth

10:00 AM to 1:00 PM CST, Sunday, November 5

Early Bird Sales: Register by Oct 20 $65

Regular: Register by November 4 $75

Late: Register after November 4 $125

A long Prairie winter, a summer of extreme heat, drought, and flames. A pandemic ravaging the globe. Severe flooding, landslides, whole communities under water and dirt. Our hearts know this pain. In this session we will come together in a process of contemplation and discussion, writing and revision, to write group and individual letters to Earth and all its beings. Or to an editor, a politician, a friend -- anyone -- as a means of transforming emotion into action.

1:1 Creativity Coaching, Manuscript Evaluation, Mentorship
