Deep Travel Workshops If we are lucky, our expectations are scrambled. We are reminded that there are larger forces at play. DeepTravel demands even more. Our tools? What did it mean?

"The passage of the mythological hero may be overground, incidentally; fundamentally it is inward—into the depths where obscure resistances are overcome, and long lost powers are revivified …"
—-Joseph Campbell, The Hero with a Thousand Faces

In its simplest form, travel is physical movement from one place to another: a flight from Seattle to South Africa, the long drive through Nebraska, or camel trek across the Sahara. Along the way we encounter new sights and smells, sounds and sensations: the taste of curry, the notes of a sitar, snow-peaked Andes, fresh mint mingling with dyed leather in the souks of Marrakech. Most travelogues stay safely on the surface, tracking like mile markers our horizontal movement through space. When infused with carefully collected details and vivid action, these stories can transport the reader. It asks us not just to recount what we saw, but to elicit that sensation we often have on return from our journeys that we are changed. Deep Travel is a three-session workshop that invites you to write about your vertical travels--the downward venture into the deepest strata of your experience and psyche. Like prospectors searching for a vein, we’ll dig through layers, starting with surface impressions and tracing them to their primal sources. Sharpened intuitive skills, an openness to risk, and creative revisioning techniques that pinpoint focus. Where a travelogue only requires us to write “Last summer I went to the Eiffel tower,” Deep Travel asks Why did I want to go there? Perhaps my expectations got shattered the moment I was ripped off by a con-artist who handed me a rose. Who was this rose seller? What is his story? Where does my romantic fantasy of Paris come from, and how does it collide with his reality? Deep Travel draws us into the molten core of our experience. Join award-winning writers Christina Ammon and Erin Byrne as we forge connections between our personal journeys—and the political, cultural, and mythical contexts in which they unfold—and the essence of our own selves.

Join us for the creative journey through Morocco!

Wanderlust is an intoxicating feeling. A mind sewn together with daydreams of far off places filled with ancient stories, spice filled air, songs of prayer and one’s own story to be unfolded.
