The Writer’s Passage is our foundational course. The lessons are designed to steep you in the living body of poetic works that have shaped the western mind from its beginnings. The entire course is an apprenticeship with the imagination itself.

 

Every lesson is an invocation of the poetic, a way to connect with what was most creative in the history of humankind. The shift in perspective demanded by such exercises is, in itself, deeply liberating. The writer’s scope is enlarged by merely trying on the soul-skin of a different time, culture and personality— to serenely reformulate the eightfold path of the Buddha or passionately hurl oneself into the battle fury of the Viking; to tangle with the verbal eroticism of Sappho or the righteous passion of the prophets. To become the pure Parzival of the medieval epics and then the devil in Goethe’s Faust is an unmatched gymnastic for the creative writer.

 

​As a writer you will be led, step by step, to write out of inner pictures. You will begin to fathom the vast biography of the poetic and experience how it is like a living being that wants to continue its creative life through you.

​

 You will join an international community of like-minded writers. The course has been of value to both beginners and seasoned writers.
