Screenwriting from the Heart
SOLD OUT
Join the waitlist HERE.
October 15-18
at The Mirror PioneertownA course by Jay Carson
with breathwork guided by Carly Jo CarsonScreenwriting is almost always taught as an intellectual exercise based on rules and formulas and rigid structures. It is as though if the writer puts their “inciting incident” on just the right page, the script is as sure to be good (and get made) as water is sure to boil at 212 degrees Fahrenheit.
But screenwriting is — when it’s great (or even good) — not an intellectual exercise based on rigid formulas and structure. To be sure, structure is important in all storytelling, but a perfectly structured script without depth and heart is like relying on a chain link fence for warmth on a cold night.
The key to a great (or even good) script is one thing — HEART.
I’ve been a professional screenwriter for over a decade and a half. And I came to screenwriting after 20 years in politics had broken my heart. Because I didn’t know any better, I ignored the structure and just wrote scripts from my heart. I needed to heal, and a still small voice inside me told me that telling my truth would do that. And it worked.
It also worked from a business perspective (which I was not expecting), because heart-centered screenwriting is SO rare that it jumps off the page for the producers, directors, agents (and fellow writers) who spend all day reading scripts that stay on the surface, focused solely on the formula or mimicking that other script that everyone else loves.
I’ve read hundreds and hundreds of scripts, and I’ve spent a lot of time counseling new writers who are getting started in screenwriting. Almost all of them want to learn “the formula” — how many acts, where do I put the inciting incident, how do I ‘save the cat?’, etc etc. But none of those things make a great script. Over-focusing on them also robs the writer of the fulfillment and enjoyment and personal growth of writing and of being a writer. Whenever I stay on the surface of a story, whenever I am afraid (and it is often fear that holds me back) to go deeper into the story I’m telling and — most importantly — WHY I’m telling it, the process gives me about as much nourishment as eating sugar. And — here’s the rub — the script is usually unsuccessful too.
But when I go deep, when I plumb the depths of my heart, when I write about what scares me (I’ve had a post it on my laptop for almost a decade now with the Mary Karr quote: “What would you write if you weren’t afraid?”) the process is deeply nourishing and fulfilling AND the script almost always succeeds.
This is an imminently teachable and learnable process for any writer who wants to learn it. I want to teach this process to writers at all levels, from the novice screenwriter who has never sold a script to a seasoned professional who can’t figure out why they’re not enjoying (or succeeding at) screenwriting anymore. In my experience, writers can improve their lives and careers by writing their scripts and telling stories from their hearts and not their heads.
Pricing includes meals and onsite accommodations on a first-come, first-serve basis. There are 3 indoor private spaces and several shared bell tents, all with shared bathroom. Participants can choose to stay off-site if they prefer.

The Mirror Facilitator Training 2
October 22-25th, 2026 at THE MIRROR / Pioneertown
I design transformational journeys because it is a true calling. When I can help others heal their suffering, it allows me to experience my own painful childhood as a gift. I do this work because I feel the world needs it—it needs us all to stay connected to our hearts and to one another. Having guided journeys for over a decade, I’ve seen the powerful ripple effect—how it activates purpose and inspires creativity.I believe our work is to reflect back God’s beauty in whatever way feels purest and truest. One of the ways I do that is by creating ceremonial soundscapes that unlock emotion. Part of this training will be to instruct you in guiding powerful breath journeys—either with my music or with your own creation or curation—to help others awaken the heart and connect with the divine without any external substances. You will gain an understanding of the power of sound to support individuals in accessing deeply embedded trauma in the body. You will learn to create safe, healing experiences where others feel held, uplifted, and capable of cathartic release. You will learn how to hold a container that feels both grounded and deeply human.
Trainees will be immersed in a methodology that goes far beyond standard instruction. This experience is tailored to help you tune into deeper ways to express your authentic gifts. You will be empowered to design your own healing experiences. We all have the power to facilitate healing when we hold space with presence, authenticity, and love. This 4-day container will be a deep and wildly creative exploration of how you, in your own unique way, can invite people into deeper connection with themselves, with one another, and with a Higher Power. There are infinite ways to positively impact humanity, and this training will help you find yours.
I am always blown away by the incredible humans who come together for these experiences and by how the alchemy of the group always brings forth something profound and unexpected. You will be inspired and will get ideas about how to weave in other modalities by witnessing the gifts of the group. Together we will explore creativity and becoming by weaving together the tools we have all gathered in our lives.
