Tap into your unconscious to go deeper in your writing practice or just see where else creativity can take you.
Writing With Your Unconscious
Cost: $44
VIRTUAL CLASS VIA ZOOM
HOW IT WORKS Your unconscious is a great writing partner. Whether you write for fun, self-discovery or professionally, this blend of guided hypnotherapy and expert writing practice will unlock creativity powers you didn’t know you had.
2.5 hour class
Hypno-writing uses guided meditation and deep relaxation (also called inductions or trance) to bypass your inner critic or automatic writing and access your unconscious. We’ll then work with a particular writing prompt.
The class will cycle through several rounds of trance-prompt-write.
Sharing with circles or a partner will be optional but not required.
Class is on Zoom: write via computer or by hand.
Why this works
Using hypnosis techniques allows us to bypass the default network of our conscious minds.
We go past the automatic, habitual chatter of the “talking mind,” to find new territories.
Past the thoughts we always think, the words we often use, the reactions and stories we often tell, we get to deeper material and often a surprising element of our own voices.
The inner critic sits down, allowing a more free and creative spirit to show up on the page or the screen.
This takes us to deeper, more nuanced places in our memories, emotions and imagination.
In addition to deep relaxation, we may use some breathwork and energy techniques to get into a different flow state.

All are welcome! People of every level of experience are welcome. You do not need to be an experienced writer or meditator to get a lot out of this class—nor do you need to be a beginner.
-
No problem. Opportunities to share will be offered but no one will be obligated to share their writing.
-
Not the way we’d see in a movie. We’ll use deep relaxation—often called an induction—to feel deeply relaxed. Then through a guided visualization or meditiation, we’ll access deeper levels of our unconscious mind, often including memories or emotional territories. You will be in complete control of your body and mind at all times. Just more in touch with deeper levels of yourself.
