TRANCE WORK FOR WRITERS
  

Reverie, trance, alpha, open focus, flow, contemplation, daydream... our brains move naturally in and out of various states in any given day, though we're often not even aware of these shifts in consciousness. Yet how we focus our attention is one of the most important elements in realizing any creative work. In this course we will learn to produce and to recognize our own trance states in order to use our brains more deliberately. Focusing exercises will lead directly into guided writing in poetry or prose forms. We will write daily and prolifically, and share what we've written with generous curiosity.

Open to all, from beginners to advanced. Visual artists are warmly invited to join this course with the understanding that actual class work will focus on writing exercises. We will write daily and prolifically, and share what we have written with generous attention. (You don't need to bring anything to this workshop, but if you have some nice unfinished writing you're willing to mess with this might add an extra pound of fun to your word play.)
