Elana is a great teacher. I found her meditations and short readings inspirational. She pushed me to keep going with my writing and gave me some ideas for a plot and main characters development.
In this class, you will learn first and foremost that you can write—and write well! In fact you will surprise yourself by the work you’ll be producing.
The class is designed to enhance your creativity, imagination and personal voice while also teaching the skills of creative writing—memoir and fiction.
This is an ongoing class geared toward those who are committed to writing and will continue this practice overtime. You don’t have to be an experienced writer; it’s okay if you have never written before, but it will be beneficial for you to have some level of commitment to writing.
We use calming meditations to quiet the critical mind, and music, literature and myths to inspire the creative process.
In the safety of the writing group, we take one moment from our lives and enter it fully. We slow down and look at it through the lens of the writer, allowing the story to emerge from the silence within. Learning to follow rather than lead the story our writing is fresh, free, original, unexpected.
The Writing Studio is a safe haven for writers from all countries and religions, all ages and lifestyles. Experienced and beginning writers are welcome, and this includes people for whom English is not their first language.
Classes are limited to seven (7) writers. Please bring a notebook and pen, or a laptop.
