Write more with less stress

Our Creative Writing program is founded on the idea that creativity is not meant to be a struggle, but instead a fun and rewarding process.

At Maharishi International University, you’ll take only one full-time class a month, giving you the opportunity to fully immerse yourself in the knowledge without the stress of balancing multiple courses and exams.

In every class, we offer our students tools and techniques to awaken creativity in authentic ways that deeply engage mind, heart, and soul.
