This class will focus on writing as creative expression and exploration. We will employ exercises specifically designed to heighten our senses (including inner feeling) and expand our ability to manifest those feelings and sensations within the world of the written page. We do not teach 'rules' of writing, because we feel that approach intimidates and immobilizes the creative mind by setting the stage for judgment and expectation. Instead, we encourage each person to find and express his/ her unique voice.
A tone is created in each class to stimulate the writer in us. Tone~setters may include evocative still lifes (such as an African ceremonial robe, a 100 year old quilt, a wooden box filled with mementos, photographs) ~ soundscapes ~ meditative journeys ~ tactile explorations ~ memory visions.
