Saturday, June 5, 2010 - Creative Wellness - Fitness that Fits In!™
At the Bethesda-Chevy Chase Regional Service Center
Starts at 10 a.m.

February’s weather couldn’t stop WRW’s Catherine Kent.  Join us as Catherine presents Creative Wellness - Fitness that Fits In!™ Success as a writer depends upon a ready supply of energy: creative, mental, and physical.  Whether you write full-time or juggle your writing with other work, keeping your creative well full and your butt in the chair is challenging.  Catherine offers a uniquely fluid, and therefore practical, approach to achieving the common goal of wellness. Dress comfortably and bring and open mind, ready to engage in a variety of enjoyable mental and creative processes, and stimulate mental acuity to increase your energy, writing productivity, and general well being. From focused breathing and making noise, to moving, stretching, and brainstorming, this workshop is useful, effective, and fun!

Lunch - Chat with Catherine from approximately noon to 1:30 PM.

Afternoon Session - Immediately after lunch.  Catherine’s workshop (and the fun) continues.
