In her essay, “A Sketch of the Past,” Woolf writes about “unbeing” which she describes as “the cotton wool of everyday life.”

Every once in a while – suddenly – you have a shock. There is a revelation of order – a pattern – behind the fuzz. These are the true ‘moments of being,’ when you become aware of something real behind appearances. These may be found in the memories of childhood – the reason we remember some things and not others.

This three-session course will explore the way Woolf’s “little shocks” compare and contrast with Bion’s theory of Catastrophic Change and incorporate writing strategies that invite participants to rediscover “moments of being” of their own.
