Dawn & Dusk: An Online Writing Intensive
Dawn & Dusk: An Online Writing Intensive
October 24, 25 & 26, 2025
Dawn and dusk are the rhythms of our human lives, connecting earth and sky, planet and cosmos. The beauty and symbolic power of these liminal times fill us with wonder and awe, inspiring poets and mystics across the ages to greet “the in between” as the most powerful time to contemplate, pray, and write. Embracing this potent metaphor—the promise of dawn even in the dusk of day’s end—offers a rich and urgent portal for our writing.
What is dawning in my life … and what holds back the dawn?
What hovers at the threshold of dusk ... and what resists the growing dark?
With the companionship of writing coaches Mary Angelon Young and Regina Sara Ryan, join a community of fellow travelers on Zoom to explore the current moment of our lives.
Friday 10 am - 12 pm Arizona time
Saturday 7 am – 2 pm
Sunday 7 am – 1 pm
From dawn to dusk I sit before my door....
There comes the morning with the golden basket in her hand,
bearing the wreath of beauty to silently crown the earth.
And there comes the evening, over the lonely meadows,
through the trackless paths...
From Gitanjali, “Thou Art the Sky”
— Tagore
Western Baul Residency
The Western Baul Residency is a time for a cohort of artists, writers, scientists, educators, activists, and spiritual practitioners to come together in the open and contemplative space of Triveni to be, connect, think, practice, and make. During the three-week residency, residents will enjoy solitude and independent work time as well as communal meals and evening in-process sharing and conversations. The theme of this year’s residency is “the dance of dark and light.” Residents are invited to practice, continue projects and/or create new work in conversation with this theme.

Writing Retreat: Between Ground and Grace
Tea by a fire in the wood stove, walks in the high desert, deep sanctuary in the beauty and presence of Triveni. Time for writing, time for silence, time for sharing… These are healing salves for inner renewal, gathering and opening to resilience, inspiration, imagination.
Our theme for this writing retreat is “Between Ground and Grace” because the Ground is everything—our daily lives, the challenges, limitations, and heartbreaks we face, the uncertainty, our loss and grief, the fear of coming times...as well as how we can align ourselves to the basic sanity that opens the doors to Grace.
NO WRITING EXPERIENCE IS NECESSARY TO PARTICIPATE
And, if you are working (or stalling) on a writing project, this will be a perfect time to engage or re-engage it.
