The Open Door Writing Studio is located on three acres of secluded woods in Bull Valley, Illinois. Approximately 45 miles northwest of Chicago, the working studio is also the residence of writers Moe Ross and Rick Atwater.

In this quiet setting, small groups and individuals gather to open the door to whatever wants to be written from their heart. Writers share deeply and inspire one another to bypass the self-critic and open to their creative selves.

People from all walks of life come here. Some professional writers come to feel the support of a focused group experience and to be with “beginner’s mind” again. Some come with the idea of eventually publishing a book and see The Open Door as a place to be inspired and do a “first write.” This is also a place for those with no experience and who are afraid to write, as well as those who have unblocked their fear and want to let go more. There is no hierarchy or competition here.

Dear Friends:

My beautifully talented and spiritually grounded friend, Moe Ross offers a creative and intuitive writing workshop every so often. Among her many talents, Moe is a professional and published author writing every day. Attached is her current schedule. If you've ever thought of writing and haven't started, or feel like you could use a new perspective, Moe's workshop is a warm, wonderful, caring and fun place to start. Her guidance to you, the individual writer, can ignite the hidden sparks in your own unique perspective. The workshops are given in the midst of a beautiful woods of tall trees north of Chicago; deep breathing happens naturally there - laughter, fun and homemade soup are likely to occur!

The workshop information is here. You can contact Moe directly for more information.

Enjoy the exploration.....
