Sense Writing I: Memory, Life Stories, and Fiction

in Brooklyn April 25 and 26

For everyone.

Discover your love of writing, whether you’re a beginner or a long-time writer. In a supportive environment that integrates accessible physical and writing exercises, you will learn to: 

  • Bypass body and language patterns that inhibit writing

  • 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.

Find lightness in your body and mine your imagination, all while connecting to the core of your craft. By the end of the workshop, you’ll have completed stories of non-fiction, fiction, or both, and the skills to build on them to create larger work.

What Others Are Saying

  • “I don’t feel the blocks I used to feel. There is so much memory and emotion stored in the body and breath. Sense Writing was a way to get really grounded in that, which helps me find a way into a character, myself, or into a scene.”
    — Donnaldson Brown, Author, Because I Loved You
  • Once I experienced this flow, I understood what my friend meant when she said Sense Writing changed everything for her.
    — Iva Radivojevic, Filmmaker, Guggenheim Recipient
  • The Sense Writing workshops access a profundity that other writing workshops have rarely attained at this level.
    — Raluca Albu, Writer and Editor, Bomb Magazine
  • Okay, what's a less dramatic way of telling you that this class has changed my life?
    — Olga Kreimer, Journalist, Los Angeles Review of Books

"Most of the students wouldn’t say we were ‘writers’ per se, but during these exchanges, the things that poured out of us were startlingly vivid and articulate. We got ‘there’ precisely because we weren’t trying to.”

-Guernica Magazine

“I was lucky at that time to find a teacher to guide me. Her name is Madelyn and her technique is called Sense Writing. By bringing together her knowledge of movement, neuroscience and healing, she offered me a way around the blocks.”
