The

Guild

art + faith + community

 

The Grünewald Guild is an arts education nonprofit retreat center in Leavenworth, WA. Through workshops and classes, they facilitate exploration of the intersection between art and faith. I have served as summer faculty teaching writing workshops since 2015. 

2015-2016
Writing as a spiritual practice

Writing and the Art of Paying Attention
What Past Students Are Saying: 

“I would take any writing class Brittany ever offers.
Her preparation and her presence were top rate.”

"I feel like I have a year's worth of work I could do with all that she provided.”

“Brittany’s instruction was gentle but challenging. She gave many opportunities to modify, choose a different option or bow out of writing prompts. She provided a treasure resource in the booklet she created for the course. The booklet will continue to be a resource I return to.”

“Brittany's prompts were spacious and thoughtful,
and her vulnerability in leadership was such a gift.”

“Brittany handled delicate feelings sensitively. She really walked those of us with little experience through the poetry writing aspect very well. I loved the course.”

“Brittany did a phenomenal job of integrating art, faith, and community. Her workbook speaks for itself - but then she was also able to find the connections as we brought our own work to the studio. And - she helped us do that kind of exploration on our own, as well.”

The thoroughness and rigor partnered with such grace and attentiveness."
