The Opening is a place for writing that emphasizes exploration, play and the intuitive mind of the writer. By using new techniques to get at our own innate capacities for improvisation, writers at The Opening become more rich in their writing and more able to come upon the unexpected in themselves and in the world. With these heightened sensitivities, both the writer and the writing grow of their own accord.

Writing Open The Mind:
Tapping the Subconscious to Free the Writing and the Writer by Andy Couturier, Director of The Opening.

Powerful writing comes naturally when the mind is energized and experimental, when it can take risks and follow the unexpected wherever it leads.
