Deep Noticing for Distracted Writers

With Sarah Selecky

August 9 - 14, 2019

Sarah teaches creative writing in a way that is simple, radical, and transformative, and allows writers to develop the capacity for deep concentration.

To write using these methods means to quiet the mind in the midst of the action and distraction that fills everyday life. Learn how to find this state of calm centeredness, and experience how it is an aid to exploration of story. The writing done this week will be generative and unexpected, and it will help writers develop a compassionate approach to their writing practice.

Writers should come prepared to experience ripples of insight and a renewed commitment to their relationship to writing.
