Writing Alive! Workshops, rooted in The Amherst Method, supports the writing process by emphasizing the good. First draft writing enlivened by an experimental, free approach can soar beyond previous bounds. Knowing the good in our work will be found and celebrated, seen and heard, helps us take necessary risks and learn from the expression of our best.
Each workshop is prompt-based, with 2-4 opportunities to write and read aloud in each workshop, for every writer. Writers always have the option to pass — no one is forced to read prematurely. Writers may bring their own work-in-progress and use the dedicated writing time in the workshop to advance their own goals. Writers work at their own level of experience and may write in many different genres during a single 5- or 10-week period. All genres are welcome.
Some craft exercises are included. Most prompts offered are poems or prose passages written by contemporary or long-standing established writers; writings from philosophers or spiritual teachers associated with varied paths to understanding. We endeavor, as writers, to stretch ourselves into uncomfortable territories. Support and positive feedback assist us to do this.
Dana Cunningham Anderson, M.S., is a certified facilitator with The Amherst Method; an experienced editor in possession of several decades’ of acquired knowledge; a retired psychotherapist; an active, professional visual artist; and a meditator. With Writing Alive!, which she founded in 2015, Dana experiences the perfect mating of The Joy of Facilitation with The Pleasure of Writing, Often, With Others.
