Fundamentals of Writing | Eight Inspirational Writing Sessions with Ron Dahan

Eight sessions in which we will sip, taste, and sense just some of the possibilities available in writing. We will try writing exercises, receive close guidance, and get feedback from the group members.

During the sessions, we will read texts from Israel and around the world—short stories, memoirs, excerpts from novels, beginnings and endings, plots, and descriptions of nature and space. At each session, we will write under the inspiration of literature and share our work in order to receive feedback and improve. The workshop is suitable for anyone who wants to try writing—poetry, prose, or memoir—and wants to acquire a diverse toolbox for the journey ahead.

The workshop is led by Ron Dahan—a poet, writer, editor, and writing-workshop facilitator. Winner of the Haim Gouri Prize for Poetry and the Yehuda Amichai Prize for Poetry for 2023. To date, he has published approximately 13 books of poetry, prose, and nonfiction.
