Writing with Heart and Mind
It’s simple. We offer inspirational classes when and where writers write: Early mornings and late nights in the privacy of your own home—when your heart and mind are most clear, most active, most authentically you. Because this is your time, your life, your voice, your writing community. All genres welcome.
Current Classes

Insomniac Lounge
Night owl? Restless mind? Join us in the Insomniac Lounge, for some late night fun without hitting the bars. When midnight strikes, you’ll be primed to keep writing, or carry your inspirations into your dreams for whatever magic unfolds there.

Writing is Listening
The name “Writing With Heart and Mind” is inspired by Joni Mitchell’s song, “Woman of Heart and Mind.” Here, Joni sings, “You know, the times you impress me the most are the times when you don’t try.” This value is core to our classes. We steer clear of the traditional workshop model, as it often encourages comparison & competition.
Our classes work from the inside out, focusing on process, not end-product, which, paradoxically, almost always generates better writing in the end.
Think you have nothing to say? You’re in the right place! Writing isn’t based on “having something to say.” Writing is listening. Through listening, you begin to hear what needs to be said, igniting a passion that keeps your writing alive with discovery.
Consultation & Editing
The Occasional Dream
A handful of Break of Dawn Breakthroughs will be dedicated to Jungian Dream Analysis. The Occasional Dream will provide eclectic insights to transformational dreamwork and writing.
Publishing
So you’ve been writing a long time, and now publishing is your main goal? Writing With Heart and Mind offers one-on-one sessions and private editing consultations dedicated to polishing work for publication. But we never mix process and product.
Completed Manuscripts
A full manuscript is an accomplishment! Let us help you bring it to its final form.
In-Progress Manuscript
If you’re stuck on a manuscript-in-progress on any form of prose, and you’d like some help getting unstuck, contact BK Loren directly.
Biannual Retreat
