Deep Dive: Improvisation for Writers (Saturday, Option 1)

August 16 @ 2:00 pm - 3:30 pm EDT
$50.00
cnf deep dives with mic icon

New this year, we’re holding two intensive/generative 90-minute workshops each day; these are NOT included in the main ticket package and require separate registration.

 **If you are having trouble checking out** you may now also purchase a registration at our Books website — this is a temporary workaround until our magazine website issue is resolved.  

Do you want to take your writing to new places? Could you benefit from more freedom, confidence, courage, and joy in your writing practice? Would you like to loosen up and shake up your old patterns and habits so you can make new discoveries?

In this experiential, unique, fun, and instantly applicable workshop, you’ll learn principles and skills of improvisation that can help you supercharge your writing work. You’ll discover how thinking like an improviser can help you generate and develop ideas; create peace and acceptance with where you are in your process; expand into new territory; and reach writing goals more effectively and with greater ease.

Create new connections and develop your creative infrastructure in a safe, structured, zero-performance, introvert-friendly, no-experience-necessary environment. Elevate your craft as you break down inner blocks to your creativity. Put your new insights into practice during the workshop and see how the principles translate to the page in real time.

No matter your writing style or genre, whether you’re a plotter or a pantser, you’ll leave the session ready to use the concepts and skills you’ve learned to venture boldly forward in your writing.

You will learn how to:

  • Recognize and loosen unconscious patterns that shut down creativity, presence, and positive risk-taking.
  • Deal more effectively with your inner critic and reduce the perfectionism that keeps you stuck and sabotages your momentum.
  • Tap into beginner’s mind so that you can continue to stretch and expand, no matter where you are in your process or career.
  • Experience more joy, playfulness, and resourcefulness as you venture boldly into the unknown.
