The Eastern Illinois Writing Project invites teachers to a Writing & Wellness Retreat on Friday, September 15 at the Douglas-Hart Nature Center in Mattoon. In a relaxed, rejuvenating environment, teachers will learn strategies for using writing, outdoor education, and yoga/meditation to support students’ social and emotional learning. Teachers will earn 5 CPDUs for this retreat. Breakfast and lunch will be provided.

This workshop is appropriate for teachers at all grade levels and subject areas. The event is limited to 45 participants, and pre-registration is required. The retreat, funded by a Redden Grant at Eastern Illinois University, is being offered at no cost to teachers.

Any questions regarding this event should be directed to Dr. Terri Fredrick at tafredrick@eiu.edu.
