MEDITATIVE WRITING Level One
The Process of Creativity & Story Mining

At the intersection of science, art, and meditation we build an approach to writing that draws from the most powerful part of your mind. 

Cognitive and meditative exercises will be crafted specifically to help you get the most out of every writing session and discover the deepest truth of your unique voice.

​These tools can also be flipped upside-down to create profound storytelling techniques and build structure in your scripts. 

Classes are built around the needs of the writers. Subjects might include...

  • Story structure
  • Divergent vs convergent thinking
  • Resistance to writing
  • Habit building
  • Negative self-talk/internal bullies
  • Handling rejection
  • Inspiration on demand
  • Enhancing artistry
  • Building creativity
  • Vulnerability training
  • How to handle distractions
  • Character psychology
  • Audience psychology
  • Your relationship to your artistry and craft
  • Writing stamina
  • 3 dimensional characters 
  • Universal stories

​Every class also includes a classic meditative writing session that will generate pages upon pages of new story, characters, explorations.  

The level one class also prepares writers for the level two classes where we learn how to apply the foundation skills and meditations to rewriting, pitching, outlining and prepares writers for weekend intensives where the average writer gets 50 pages of new writing written in two days.

"Jess's classes and meditations have gotten me through some very severe blocks. These are professional-grade tools that short circuit the fear, imposter syndrome, and perfectionism that stands in the way of you doing your best work. I rely on them regularly! "

"I learned more in one session with Jess than I did in four years of NYU film school."

“Meditative Writing truly is “assisted self-discovery.” For the same reason writers should take acting classes, Meditative Writing helps you get down into your body, to work a scene or character from the inside out. The practice has applications even beyond writing, into directing, pitching, and just being in the world. This class and subsequent practice has been extremely helpful to me in my work.”
– Christine Boylan, Writer/Producer at MARVEL/NETFLIX
