Writing from the heart is a way to access our creativity directly. It is a simple and easy method that bypasses our inner critic and frees creativity. Our mind tends to compartmentalize and place everything in order. This may hinder what can emerge and create a block. The heart helps us get out of our heads and grounds the experience in the body.
Our heart is the connection to our feelings and emotions and is also the dwelling place of memories.
By placing the focus on your heart, you'll soon learn to trust your own voice. You may think you have nothing to write when you start, but you'll soon realize your heart has a great deal to say. Suspend
your disbelief for a moment and let the pen talk. This is the intuitive writing process.
You will have fun while discovering the writer within. During class we will use different creative exercises to launch the writing process in a supportive, non-threatening environment. Fill page after page, as we explore free-writing as a way to access the place of inspiration. We will make use of helpful writing prompts such as photos, music, mementos, and short meditations to help get us started. You will learn how to expand from your writing samples and write short stories. Classes and workshops are open to newcomers, as well as students who have taken other writing classes before. Just bring your creative energy, and pens, pencils and paper (or laptops).
Nothing is impossible when you write from the heart.
