Overcome writers' block Spur creativity Tap into your intuitive side Enhance your autobiography/memoir
Experience a nationally-recognized process to further your writing and creativity, and learn a tool for self-development. Connect with your life experiences to gain new awareness, which provides the raw material for writing your memoir or autobiography.
Workshops sponsored by many writing guilds and used by successful authors to boost creativity and beat writers' block:
"[The] workshop made a tremendous impact on my writing... the journals and texts written by Progoff are powerful tools in the creative process." Judy Collins Artist, Writer, Entertainer
Donald Spoto, a successful biographer, used our method to overcome writers' block: "[The] method was central to the beginning and flourishing of my career as a biographer... Progoff's creative insights and practical methods of deepening one's spiritual and creative life should be made available to everyone."
The writing exercises, conducted in a deepening atmosphere of silence and privacy, help you access your inner process - creating a flow, momentum, and energy. The method is also a powerful tool for self-development, to help you through transitions and gain awareness about your life. The process integrates journal writing, meditation, dreamwork, and holistic approaches to life.
