This July, Teacher Consultants from the National Writing Project at Rutgers University made their third visit to the Farmhouse at the Kirkridge Retreat and Study Center in Bangor, PA. 

Participants recorded portions of their work in progress at the end of the retreat.  Kristy Lauricella, our retreat facilitator, prepared opening and closing segments so that listeners can have a glimpse of our mission and the ambience of our location.  There’s even an overview of an excellent writing exercise shared by visiting writer Porochista Khakpour, author of Sons and Other Flammable Objects.

We hope you feel as inspired by listening to the podcast as we did when we spent four days in the Poconos working toward our writing goals.
