Writing from The Heart: June 2022

Writing from The Heart

"Writing from The Heart" is a workshop on creative writing, creative drawing, and creative drama. There are three available versions of this workshop: one for beginners on the secondary, tertiary, and graduate levels, and another for practitioners. A third version of this workshop is designed as an outreach program to disadvantaged and underserved audiences such as the disabled, the poor and the marginalized, victims of human trafficking, battered women and abused children, drug rehabilitation center residents, child combatants, children in conflict with the law, prisoners, and gang leaders. This third version incorporates creativity and problem awareness, conflict resolution, crisis intervention, trauma therapy, and peacemaking.

It is all too easy to write from the mind, for that is what everyone does at school and at work. The rules for doing this are available in classrooms and in books.

It is also easy to do automatic writing. You simply hold a pen over a sheet of paper, let go, and let the writing flow from your unconscious.

You need a guide, however, when writing from the heart, because it is an art that harnesses your intuition and your emotion, and only a mentor who truly loves you can help you do that. When writing from the heart, your write not only from your present lifetimes but also from your past and your future lifetimes. When writing from the heart, your consciousness is the consciousness of love. No book or writing instrument, no matter how expensive, can bring you there on its own.
