RELAX & WRITE: TAPPING YOUR UNCONSCIOUS FOR LIFE AND ART WITH MAIA DANZIGER

Most of us are writing using only a small part of the resources we have available. These resources—our intuition, creativity, and deeper knowing—are the foundations of good writing, and a fully realized life. Created by Maia Danziger, the Relax & Write method unlocks our unconscious and uses the rich material found there for developing our passion for writing and living. In a safe and nonjudgmental setting, we practice deep relaxation, guided meditation, sensory awareness, and tapping into the “observer self” to awaken the inner voice we’ve always wanted to hear and put that voice to paper. 

As Maia skillfully builds our writing into a practice, she also playfully and poetically demystifies the process, sharing insights and anecdotes from her experiences and those of her students. We return home with a method for writing that forges a repeatable path, a clear and easily accessible way to get deep writing done.
