This workshop utilizes the practice of guided visualization to break through mental blocks and achieve a flow state for writers and people who want to write more. Beginning with a period of physical relaxation, participants will be guided into a subconscious state in order to access deep neural networks that are less accessible to the conscious mind. Narrative prompts will be offered to spark creative reverie as participants meditate on various archetypes, landscapes, and memories. Once a flow state arrives, writing begins and lasts for a short period of time. Participants will then be guided back to their conscious mind and present environment. There will be two guided meditations with writing periods followed by a sharing circle. Participants should bring warm comfortable clothes, thick socks, a blanket, blank unlined paper, writing utensils (pencils preferred), and a water bottle. Snacks will be provided.
