What's Happening

August 25, 2025, Adrian, Michigan – Every Fall brings us great teachers in the leaves and plants that do their “work” and then let go and move on. The next Writing Workshop at Weber Retreat and Conference Center focuses on Nature’s Teaching on Letting Go. 

Offered in person and via Zoom, the workshop is from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. Saturday, October 18, 2025, at Weber Center. This workshop gives all writers – from beginners to experienced – opportunities to explore their own and others’ process of letting go.

Adrian Dominican Sister Tarianne DeYonker, OP, a certified Amherst Writers and Artists Facilitator, facilitates the session.

The cost is $35, and registration is required. The Zoom link will be sent closer to the workshop date for those registering for virtual attendance. Visit www.webercenter.org and click on “programs,” call 517-266-4000, or email [email protected]. Limited scholarships are available.
