How to Hear Yourself: A Proprioceptive Writing Weekend
Posted by: Continuing Education
Details:
What is it like to really hear yourself? It’s unlike ordinary hearing. It’s like entering a realm where you think and feel differently than you did before. Following certain simple rules while you write opens the gate to this blissful realm. The more you immerse yourself in this practice, the more your thoughts open up to you. Practiced to music in twenty-five-minute sessions under stress-free conditions, alone and in groups, PW is a simple technique that anyone can learn. Through PW you can learn to listen to your thoughts with impassioned curiosity, reflect on them imaginatively, and set them free. If you feel cut off from creative expression, you can reconnect to yourself and dissolve expressive blocks through PW. If you enjoy writing, PW can help you locate your voice and narrate experience. Through a daily PW practice, you can collect a rich storehouse of raw material that you can draw on for creative projects.
