Sarah Selecky’s teaching bridges the often-separated worlds of technical craft and spiritual practice in writing. She has discovered that the most transformative creative breakthroughs happen when writers learn to channel their natural curiosity into heightened awareness—what she calls moving from “scattered observation to conscious presence.”This approach has proven especially valuable for neurodivergent writers and those who feel alienated from traditional academic writing instruction. Her teaching creates inclusive spaces where different thinking patterns are celebrated as creative gifts rather than obstacles to overcome.
In this transformative master class, recommended for all writers including novice, emerging, and experienced and suitable for all genres, participants will learn to reconnect with their creative curiosity.
- Learn practical techniques to bring mindfulness and presence to the page, whether starting fresh or deepening a relationship with an existing project.
- Through guided exercises, meditations, freewriting prompts, and deep noticing practices, discover how to access a state of calm fascination that makes writing feel natural and engaging.
- Learn how to integrate conscious and unconscious awareness for more authentic, interesting work.
- Generate new material while learning sustainable practices to keep creative energy alive.
This special class creates space for writers to explore, experiment, and connect with their innate wisdom. Participants will leave with fresh material, reliable techniques for accessing creativity, and a renewed sense of possibility in their writing life.
