Sense Writing I and II in Berlin
Sense Writing I: Memory, Life Stories, and Fiction
For everyone.
Discover your love of writing, whether you’re a beginner or a long-time writer struggling with a creative block. In a supportive environment that integrates accessible physical and writing exercises, you will learn to:
Bypass body and language patterns that inhibit writing
Uncover the connections between nervous system regulation and creative flow
Complete two pieces of memoir and/or fiction.
Find lightness in your body and mine your imagination, all while connecting to the core of your craft. Sense Writing frees you from the thoughts you think you “should” be thinking so you learn to create without anxiety.
Sense Writing II: Making Connections
A 3-day immersive workshop open to anyone who’s taken Sense Writing I or the Sense Writing Course.
In this highly generative workshop, you will learn how to sustain larger pieces-- without the overwhelm. By working deeply with the more advanced neuroplastic learning principles, you’ll:
Learn to clarify your creative goals and work towards them effectively and with ease
Identify connections that are forming within your writing and build on them to create larger work in the genre of your choice
Hone your notions of structure and craft beyond what you might think is “good” or “bad” writing.
By the end of the workshop, writers will have several completed stories of non-fiction, fiction, or both, and the skills to build on them to create larger work.
