Description and Reader Names: ustaining Wonder: Writing From the Body



Saturdays 10am-12pm April26th-May31st $100

Go beyond art and craft to the source of the creative impulse. We will begin each writing session with deep breathing, stretching, and/or a guided meditation to awaken suppressed feelings, combat fears and open ourselves to our unique source of inspiration. Writing prompts help loosen inhibitions and we’ll use freewriting techniques that bypass the linear left brain into our intuitive creative process. As our bodies change, so may our vital concerns and our writing. Size, health and others’ perceptions of us affect our art. Spirit and flesh are connected, not separate, and the more we live in cyberspace, the more we dismiss our physical selves. We will consider body image and identity, sexuality, gender dynamics, love, taboos, and the mind-body split. This class focuses on writing process more than product, letting the body tell its story. All genres and writing levels welcome! Bring a notebook!
