THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST. WE ARE NO LONGER ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS FOR THIS YEAR’S COURSE

In order for you to write that stunning, world changing memoir or personal essay you’ve been working on, you need to surface your most profound, most majestic stories.

Your deepest vows, turning points, biggest lessons, inherited dreams...what ever you want to call them. All the stuff going on in the background all these years. All the subconscious material that has been calling the shots in your life (for "better" or for "worse").

[re]membering is a 6-month writers’ group and experience for women. It will invite you to check out your own memories, thoughts, felt senses, emotions, body sensations to find the wisdom within. We'll call on our grandmothers, grandaunts and ancient mothers to help us on our journey. And we'll discover what stories want to be told through us.

Masculine and feminine energy exist in all things—including people. In a world dominated by masculine energy, our group will tap into the feminine, the 'yin' energy.

This container will be full of the sacred feminine. You will reconnect with your feminine energy, and embody ancient wisdom, one compassionate act of [re]membering at a time, while discovering that within you who is:

• A COLLABORATOR ... who leads her own internal system by being appreciative, empowering and vulnerable with all of her parts, actively supporting them and hearing their contributions to the shared effort. She is self-affirming, trusting of self and others, interdependent and cooperative as an equal.

• A CREATOR ... who expresses the personal and the universal in her writing, and knows that creative energy is not only a form of self-expression but also a modality for healing and transformation. She is inspired, self-renewing and regenerating: able to transform her experiences into something valuable.

• A NURTURER ... who is empathetic, compassionate, feeling for herself and others. She is caring and concerned about her own needs, and the needs of her readers. Thoughtful, warm-hearted, forgiving and sincere. Feels it is a privilege to be in the lives of her community.

• A SUSTAINER ... who is deeply receptive, accepting, unselfconscious, emotionally stable and serene. As such, she can be a source of support and strength for others. This gives her a deep sense of fulfillment and a kind of benevolent pride in her ability to have a positive impact on the world and on others.

It’s time now….

• to pause and dive deeper into your root stories

• to discover a different way to create that honors your rhythms and is structured around ritual

• to bring your left and right brains together

• to witness and transform your memories

• to channel strong feminine energies at your back every step of the way

[RE]MEMBERING is a sacred time to call your parts together like a convocation of eagles, for you to:

Source your root stories. In our guided writing sessions you’ll learn and have space to surface the moments that formed you so you can create meaningful connections and conversations with your ultimate audience, that bring people to your book to say “I really need to read this” or “I see myself in this story” and “I wonder what my own root stories are.”

Be supported and accountable to do the writing work. You’ll have the opportunity to receive support for where you’re getting stuck and cultivate your confidence in what you alone have to say to the rest of us. Regular community moments will have you sharing your stories out loud, and practice accepting them for what they are without needing to change anything at all.

Uncover your uniqueness. This work unveils the truth of who you really are and that you are your essence as well as a collection of your experiences. You will reclaim the disowned parts of yourself and access your wisdom, so the creativity can flow.

[re]membering is an energetic container to surface your stories while healing from your experiences so that you can bring the best of you to your memoir or personal essay writing.
