For the last twenty-five years, they have devoted themselves to teaching what is now known as Proprioceptive Writing through workshops, schools, and college programs. Requiring a regular, disciplined practice in a quiet environment, the method uses several aids to deepen attention and free the writer within: Baroque music, a candle, a pad, and a pen.
