Inner critic stopping you? Learn “writing practice” from a published author, writing coach, and long-time student of Natalie Goldberg. “Writing practice” reduces stress around writing, increases productivity, and tames the inner critic. In-class writing, optional reading aloud and short periods of meditation help students access their wild writing minds. No writing or meditation experience necessary. Course content varies to accommodate returning students. Have a notebook and pen handy!

Copies of Nita’s books will be available for sale and signing. If you already have a copy, bring it for her to sign.

*******
Nita Sweeney is an award-winning wellness author, mindfulness meditation teacher and coach, ultramarathoner, and dog-mom. After a decade of legal practice (and a major depressive episode), Nita turned in her shingle for a fast writing pen. People still ask legal questions, but she’s done her best to forget the answers. Instead of negotiating labor contracts for public agencies, she writes, and shares what she’s learned.
Nita’s articles, essays, and poems have appeared in Men’s Health, Buddhist America, Dog World, Dog Fancy, Writer’s Journal, Country Living, Pitkin Review, Spring Street, The Taos News, WNBA-SF blog, Pencil Storm, The Writing Cooperative, It’s Not Your Journey, Wide Open Writing, and other newspapers and newsletters.
When she’s not writing and teaching, Nita runs. She has completed three ultramarathons, three full marathons, forty-two half marathons (in twenty-nine states), and more than one hundred shorter races. Nita lives in central Ohio with her husband and biggest fan, Ed, and their yellow Labrador running partner, Scarlet, the #ninetyninepercentgooddog.
