Embracing Distraction for the Sake of Art with Jonathan Brown

  • Rare Bird Farm 91 Duckett Top Tower Road Hot Springs, NC, 28743 United States (map)

Do you struggle with what looks like ADHD while you’re trying to create? What if we flipped the value judgment of distraction and treated tangents as positives instead of negatives?  We’re going to find strength in distraction. We’re going to encourage our wandering minds to wander wherever they want to go without shame or judgment. We’re going to develop not just compassion but reverence for our distractions. We’re going to gain a new perspective on how to bring our writing to life as well as our life to writing.  

 In this generative writing workshop, we are going to embrace our distractions instead of shunning them.  We’re going to learn to expand our focus to include all the uniqueness at the edges of our consciousness.  We’re not staying on task.  We’re getting off task with gusto and pizzazz.  Mmmmm.  Pizza… You love pizza. Free Concert after this workshop with registration here.
