The Writing Cure: An Improvisational Writing Workshop
Membership for 7 months minimum | $99.00 a month
One Ten Week Session 499.00 | Cost per class $50.00
Did you know by the age of 20, adults lose up to 98% of the creativity they had as children?*
The creative qualities of the children they were include:
- open-mindedness
- wonder
- creativity
- imagination
- curiosity
- playfulness
- a sense of humor
- accepting of others
- honest emotions
- an ability to stay in the present moment
- laughter
- deep states of concentration known as “in the zone”
- flow from Source, the universe, as in something greater than themselves.
Without enough of these creative qualities in your daily life and work, it’s easy to turn into Sisyphus, the guy in the Greek myth who rolls a boulder up to the top of the mountain, only to watch the same boulder roll back down to the bottom of the mountain. Over and over again….. for all eternity. Work becomes boring. Relationships become mundane. To compensate, we eat or drink or watch too much TV.
There’s Good News! Your Creativity May be Lost, But You Can Rejuvenate the Magical Child. It Still Lives Inside You.
Sure, it’s buried inside of you, covered in layers of conditioning, lies, and languishing from loneliness and a lack of attention.
Never Fear, The Writing Cure Workshop is Here.

LIVE WORKSHOP SCHEDULE
It will be roughly broken down into three sections:
Meditation: Practice letting go of outside considerations. Get into the moment. Listen for your own voice. Allow.
Warm Up Game: Play. Experiment. Get curious. Ask questions. This is your chance to get into flow. Practice using elements of writing or storytelling craft to create writing based on your own life (fiction or non-fiction.)
The Main Stage: In this second half of each class, create new writing or story. If you are already working on a memoir, flash fiction, essay, autobiography, book outside of class, you may want to write with that in mind. If not, then allow yourself to be guided by your own intuition.
