Course Description
Are you interested in writing about paranormal phenomena or psychic experiences?
Whether writing about your own psychic experiences or those of others, in this course you'll go over some of the tools needed to share your thoughts and express ideas in ways that are accessible and interesting to others. These same skills are useful for writing fiction or fictionalized versions of your own experiences.
Class sessions will cover basic writing concepts such as purpose, audience, narrative voice, setting, imagery, dialogue, and style – but in parapsychological contexts, with examples focused on psi experiences. Through exercises and critiquing, you'll explore your own writing with the instructor and with other students. Each week you will provide a writing sample in an online forum and review your work in the online courseroom and in live class discussions.
This four-week course is Part I of a two-part course. Part II will involve longer or more involved written work, and it will be offered at a later date. You must take Part I to qualify to register for Part II, but you can also take Part I by itself. (Students taking this course to complete a certificate program must take both Part I & Part II.)
This class has limited enrollment to facilitate discussion and review.

Course Description
What do musical artists Alice Coltrane, Willie Nelson, John Cage, RZA, and Billie Eilish have in common? They've all drawn from paranormal language to describe their creative process. From séance hymns and orchestral meditations to dream pop, cosmic country, and spiritual jazz, the relationship between music and psi phenomena is far more than novelty—it's at the center of the creative process. Throughout music history, we encounter the paranormal at every turn. Music has always been used as a tool for inducing psi states, and for centuries musicians and composers across all genres have derived creative agency from psi experiences, metaphysical philosophy, and related disciplines of intuition.
This 4-week course explores how musicians and composers have drawn inspiration from intuitive disciplines and the psi states they facilitate. We'll begin with a reflection on traditional psi music research getting familiar with related phenomena and concepts, then explore three fascinating perspectives on psi music in practice: Altered States (clairaudience, trance, synaesthesia, psychedelia), Symbolism & Synchronicity (dreams, divination, sacred geometry, myth), Magick & Meditation (ceremonial magick, prayer/mantra, meditation, and healing). Along the way we'll listen to incredible music and reflect on the creative process of paranormally inspired artists. Each week's course will offer a suggested short reading and a creative exercise.
This course is open to all creatives in any medium—no musical training, knowledge of theory, or spiritual beliefs are required (and all are welcome).
