Participants will create and discuss a short piece of their own writing in the spirit of C. S. Lewis over a period of four days. Sarah Arthur will lead discussions that include the stages of the writing process, helpful methods for group critique, and genres such as letter, poem, short story, satire, and fairy tale. Even if you don’t think of yourself as a great writer, this is a great opportunity to stretch your writing skills and to experience in the interior landscape of Lewis' imagination.

The Socratic Club was designed to provide a place where Christian and non-Christian could intellectually lock horns in an atmosphere that was fearless and unyielding in argumentation, yet ruled by honesty and civility. During four days of lectures, Dr. Christopher Mitchell will examine this unique and influential mid-century enterprise and its relevance for today.
