"I learned more in one session with Jess than all four years of film school."

– Jenna (NYU Film Graduate)

"Meditative Writing truly is 'assisted self-discovery.' Meditative Writing helps you get down into your body, to work a scene or character from the inside out. The practice has applications even beyond writing, into directing, pitching, and just being in the world. This class and subsequent practice has been extremely helpful to me in my work."

– Christine Boylan (Showrunner, Avatar: The Last Airbender)
