WRITE FEELING

Niki Caro - WRITER, DIRECTOR: WHALE RIDER, A HEAVENLY VINTAGE, MULAN, THE MOTHER

"I first worked with Joan Scheckel when she acted as script consultant on Whale Rider. We did not meet face to face for many months as I was in New Zealand, but during that time the script grew deeper and stronger under her influence. She brings insight and clarity to every project she works on. She has a deep understanding of the architecture of a story and is as rigorous with structure as she is with character. She is both challenging and caring and is an invaluable partner on any project. Working with her is thrilling and I cannot recommend it highly enough."

WHAT IS IT?

YOU HAVE THE SEED OF AN IDEA.

There is a Story in your head.

Get it out of your head and onto the page with WRITE FEELING.

WRITE FEELING is a week-long course that gives you 5 ninety-minute Guided Writing sessions with Joan, along with in-depth, beefy lectures that provide insight into how to uncover the story YOU need to tell. This is a perfect course to take in tandem with WRITE THE CHANGE 1 & WRITE THE CHANGE 2, as it offers all the insight and guidance you will need to make the most out of every timed writing exercise.

After consultation with serious alums, Joan designed a course to support the writing work and the quiet inward healing so critical for artists now. Sessions are designed to support space, inner connection, and the time just to connect with yourself and your work without distraction. Artistic quietude. Deep creative work. Let’s go in.

All writing, All the time.

This class is designed for the ears to the soul to the page (no physical exercises).

BEGIN EACH DAY...

With a short Meditation to center, ground, and visualize the story aspect we will focus on each day

Meditation is followed by lengthy Guided Writing with Joan’s prompts

Delve into your material through Written Exercises

Each day brings new tools, exercises, and guided writings to drive you to the page.

Class is designed to allow you to flow into your writing day, so if you can carve out extra time after the class formally ends, DO!
