                  “
                  “I don’t feel the blocks I used to feel. There is so much memory and emotion stored in the body and breath. Sense Writing was a way to get really grounded in that, which helps me find a way into a character, myself, or into a scene.” 
                  ”

                    Once I experienced this flow, I understood what my friend meant when she said Sense Writing changed everything for her.

                    The Sense Writing workshops access a profundity that other writing workshops have rarely attained at this level.
