Heimer Old School: Human Consciousness at Work
The Magic of Minds Together in a Room
“It is impossible to get better and look good at the same time. Give yourself permission to be a beginner. By being willing to be a bad artist, you have a chance to be an artist, and perhaps, over time, a very good one.”
~ Julia Cameron, The Artist’s Way
“If you want a significant change in your results, then you probably need a significant change to your strategy. Working harder on your current strategy is unlikely to move the needle. Before you work harder, work on the right thing.”
~ James Clear, Atomic Habits
“I never promised the universe that I would write brilliantly; I only promised the universe that I would write.”
~ Elizabeth Gilbert, Big Magic
Heimer Old School Philosophy:
No AI. No Zoom. No online posts. Writing is human. Writing is creative. Writing is relational. The magic comes from people getting in a room together to ask and listen and try and try again. You can’t write the last thing first, and the best ideas grow from conversation.
Workshop Options:
Academic Writing
- If you can have an idea, organize an idea, and support an idea, you can run the world. Learn repeatable processes for having, organizing, and supporting ideas for analytical, argument, and research writing.
Creative Writing
- Creativity is the art of attention and combination. Learn to demystify the creative process and shape ideas you’re having using the literary techniques of short fiction and poetry.
Emotional Intelligence & Communication Skills
- Learn self-awareness and self-management tools so you can get out of your own way and practice more mindful social awareness and healthy relationship management, even conflict resolution.
