Please enjoy these videos of Sparrow and Sy, from the 2015 Sun Magazine Writers Retreat at Esalen.

Published with permission of the speakers, and with my apology for the excessive shakiness. (Turn up the volume, don’t watch the screen or you might get vertigo. It’s all about the words after all!)

Sparrow speaks during his workshop session “From Journal to Essay”
