This is an improvisational writing workshop that stimulates participants to access right-brain skills. We get to know each other through the written responses to prompts which are selected by the instructor. We write for approximately 10-15 minutes after which we share our written work with the group. Our mantra is “don’t think too much, rely upon your intuition.”
Pre-Requisite: Bring a pen and notebook.

Notes
Why when I’m registering do I join the Wait List?Several of our courses are in high demand. In order to accommodate our members who are not tech-savvy and have trouble registering online, we created a registration system in which there is no advantage to registering early, no disadvantage to registering later.
When registering, you join the Wait List for each course. Don’t be alarmed. This does not mean the course is full. After the registration period is over, we run a lottery on the courses, and it randomly determines who is admitted to each course and who is not. You typically will receive notification regarding which courses you are admitted to, about two weeks before the start of the semester. If a course accepts 150 or more students, you are very likely to get into it.
