In this master’s project, I investigate what happens in a writing workshop that starts not from expression of the inner world and self-development, but from perception and the world around us. Does a different kind of writing emerge here? This practice combines observational writing, imagination and an open attitude to what presents itself outside me — not guided by an inner world of feelings, but by chance impressions and encounters. My gaze does not turn inwards, but outwards. It is a way of working that requires slowness, attention and surrender. Through observational participation, conversations with artists and facilitators, and a literature review around attention, looking and education, I explore how this form of writing works and can be shared with others. Writing thus becomes an attentive practice, where observation and imagination intersect. In reading and listening to each other’s texts, poignancy can arise, not only from the text, but also from the shared experience. The aim is not to teach a technique, but to share a way of seeing and to spark wonder.
