Retreats & Workshops
I lead holistic, in-person writing retreats that bring coaching clients together across many miles. Along with self-discovery, research rebooting, & writing process building, clients create lasting relationships with each other. Writing retreats empower & support clients so they can go back home & write with a clearer purpose, having made concrete steps toward liberating themselves & others in beautiful one-on-one spaces.
NEXT WRITING RETREAT: TBA
Joy also facilitates other small, interactive workshops & meetings for cowriters, research groups, & labs that concrete on practices that lead to healthy relationships, clear communication, clarity, depth, & productivity. (See below.)
CIRCLES OF TRUST
Modeled after what Quakers call “Circles of Trust” or “Clearness Committees,” I lead research partners and groups through a discussion that is meant to open up space for many ideas, not narrow down on the “right” ones.
ABOUT WRITING
Through guided dialogue, I share key concepts of wellness & writing productively in academia. Researchers find it helpful to have their graduate students or research group members all on the same page.
WHERE DO WE GO NOW?
When research partners or groups are stuck, they hire me to lead them through identifying the sticking points and creating a concrete plan for moving forward.
