The Gifts of Writing Micro-Course

Free Online Writing Class with Elizabeth Jarrett Andrew

Looking for an online course to revitalize your writing?

Enter into an ever-deepening relationship with the marvelous mystery of writing!  What the Greeks called the Muse, what Elizabeth Gilbert calls Big Magic, what writing workshops call inspiration, we explore here as the gift—the spark lending creative work its vitality. We writers can’t make the gift appear but we can cultivate the circumstances where gift thrives.

This free micro-course welcomes you into a healthy, lively, fruitful, and meaningful writing practice. We can extract ourselves from a transactional, market-economy relationship with creativity, with its relentless focus on the end produce and what others think; we can move into a life-giving, generative process that feeds our souls, strengthens our writing, and nurtures anyone who reads it. 

The course takes about 1-2 hours.  At its conclusion you’ll be welcomed the Eye of the Heart writing community, where you’ll find writers of all stripes dedicated to tending the gifts in and through their creative work.  Hope you can join us!

What others are saying about the Gifts of Writing Micro-Course:

  • "To hear Elizabeth talk about the gift (love) economy vs. marketplace economy, and to emphasize process over product was enough to make this not-so-confident writer willing to step up and join in."

  • "I have been a writer for a long time, but I really resonated with Elizabeth's introduction and idea of gift. I am hoping to get back into my writing and find that creative freedom."

  • "I have just finished watching the first video twice. I am smiling the whole time. I am looking forward to being with others and sharing the love and learning of writing in community. I think a gift I bring is an eagerness to share from the heart and a curiosity about how uniquely creative we are."
