A 2-hour workshop

If you want to see what this work actually does before committing to a cohort, start here.

In two hours, you complete two short writing exercises and learn the foundational observational lenses — a set of tools for reading what your writing reveals about how you move under pressure. You apply the lenses to your own output during the session. Most people are surprised by what they can see in their own material once they know where to look.

The workshop is not a sample of the cohort. It is a self-contained introduction to the method. You leave with usable tools and a clear sense of whether the deeper work is for you.

Workshop sessions are announced periodically. Limited to 15 participants.

What workshops explore

Each workshop is built around a specific territory of inner life, with exercises designed for that territory. Upcoming and recurring themes include:

  • Who you recognize in a stranger's face and why.
  • What you say to someone you love when the trail ends and you won't see them again.
  • What survives when you put everything from a relationship into a fire.
  • What you say when you know no one is listening

Other territories in development explore vulnerability, fantasy and escapism, and what your psyche does with loss. New workshops are added as the methodology grows.

What you leave with

  • Your written reflection produced under designed conditions, available to return to whenever you choose.
  • A digital worksheet covering the four movement-based observational lenses, for ongoing use on any imaginal material the mind produces: writing, daydreams, recurring scenarios, fantasies. Once these lenses are learned, they are portable. They do not require a facilitator to apply.
  • A working understanding of Imaginal Pattern Studies, what the method does and how it works.
