Writers Soul Circle {2 hrs Sunday morning PST}
Series begins JAN 12th Drop-ins welcome
Journey with us as we hold space for each other’s deepest expressions. You can be at the end of a project, in the middle of a re-write, or not even sure yet what you want to work on. Students bring memoirs, screenplays, novels, poetry, short stories, and big (or little) ideas.
The unique structure of Writers Soul Circle sets the stage for writers to contact the deeper themes at play in their soul and subconscious. This is an opportunity to weave your personal unfolding into the stories you are birthing.
Bask in a supportive Sunday morning writing accountability, as we dance between segments of solo writing and council-style discussion. Council is an age-old practice of listening with compassion while one person in the group shares a story. In our regard for one another, deep truths and transformation bubble to the surface.
You are guaranteed a minimum of 60 minutes of actual writing. Sharing in the circle is encouraged, but not required.

Mastery for Actors & Content Creators is a revival of Andrea’s popular process and results-oriented class. Each 1.5 hour weekly session is filled with acting exercises, performance development, business strategy consultation, and personal observation/reflection time.
The value of Mastery lives outside the classroom, in the daily and weekly actions that will activate the leveling up you desire. Please only register for the course if you can dedicate a minimum of one additional hour per week to the Mastery process (aka: homework).
Pieces to work on can be self-written, an existing monologue for film/tv/stage, or other content you wish to release as part of your social media, brand or reel.
