Writer’s Soul: Merlin Stone
Merlin Stone was the author of When God Was A Woman, first published as The Paradise Papers, and of Ancient Mirrors of Womanhood. She studied art and journalism, eventually becoming interested in archeology through her study of ancient art. Her work had a serious impact on the Goddess Movement of the 1970s and 1980s and has given us doorways of possibilities to rethink the primarily male lens through which we are taught history.
Writer’s Soul: Audre Lorde
This is a writing and listening class rooted in Audre Lorde’s insistence that language is a site of power, survival, and truth telling. The work centers her voice as queer, Black, feminist, and uncompromising, inviting writers to meet their own words as living forces shaped by body, grief, love, and responsibility. Writing here is not separated from politics or soul. It is understood as a way of telling the truth of one’s life in relationship with the world.
How To Create A Trauma Informed Writing Practice with Megan February
This class settles into the body before it ever touches the page. Megan guides us into writing as a practice of self-witness, pacing, and consent with our own stories. We talk about what it means to stay present with difficult material without abandoning ourselves, how to build safety into the creative process, and how writing can become part of healing instead of a reenactment of harm. This isn’t about producing something polished. It’s about learning to listen to your nervous system and let the words come in a way that supports your wholeness.
