Exciting, new writing classes
"Wild Writing"
at
workingwild.blogspot.com/
including
Dinner & A Journal
and
Big Mind Writing
Sonya Lea teaches writing and business/life planning, and works with entrepreneurs and artists to envision their wild lives while creating their work. She has written for the Southern Review, Seattle Post Intelligencer, Tricycle, and nth Position. She was a quarter-finalist for the Nicholl Fellowships in screenwriting, and has written films, television pilots, and essays. She has been awarded a Seattle Artist Trust Award for the completion of "Creation Story."
Dinner & A Journal
Thrust yourself into the week with a sensuous seasonal dinner, and an evening of exploring new material. The class uses wild writing to reveal the themes we want to investigate. The hour begins with a bold and resonant prompt line (or passage or poem,) and then we write as a group without letting our pens leave the page. The focus is not on finished pieces. It is about pushing ourselves past making impressive stories. We nosh, and then we move into the fertile imagination that lingers within us, exposing images and ideas that may become the beginnings of our screenplays, plays, essays, memoirs, studies, stories.

Big Mind Writing
From Buddha to the Beats, in Rumi's poetics and Munro's stories are the moments of mindfulness that awaken us. Celebrate the coming of the Dalai Lama to our city by embracing the compassion of candor!
In this class we will focus on breathing, meditation and action as a jumping off place for insightful, direct truth. In-class writing and some reading completed prior to class will illuminate the practice.
Class One: Love; Class Two: Sex; Class Three: Candor & The Non Dual; Class Four: Ecology; Class Five: Spiritus; Class Six: Death.
