Writer’s Soul: Clarissa Pinkola Estes
This is a writing and listening class rooted in honoring a living lineage bearer and the soul work carried through story. The work centers Clarissa Pinkola Estés as cantadora, keeper of old stories, and invites writers to enter myth, ancestry, and psyche as sources of voice rather than technique. Writing here is not about craft alone, but about remembering how story carries soul, guidance, and collective memory.
Inner Territory Journey: Hovering Over The Deep
This journey welcomes light without pursuit. It meets the moment when expansion arrives on its own, rippling through the imagination and the energy body. Creativity here feels ancient and cosmic, less like effort and more like remembering how worlds are dreamed into being.
Inner Territory Journey: Dragoning
This is a transformation journey rooted in rage, grief, and emergence as sacred forces of change. The work centers the moment when an old skin can no longer hold what the self has become, and the body knows it is time to crack, shed, and come through. Anger, sensuality, and ferocity are not treated as problems to regulate, but as living energies that carry wisdom, protection, and forward motion.
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: Jeanette Walls
This class studies memoir as a careful, relational practice. We sit with The Glass Castle and pay attention to how Jeanette Walls tells the truth without asking the reader to absorb her pain or make meaning for her. We look closely at restraint, pacing, and choice, how complexity can be placed on the page and trusted to stand on its own. Writing here becomes an act of witness and clarity, allowing sharp edges to exist without explanation. This class meets writers who are ready to tell what happened and trust the intelligence of their voice.
Wyrd Changer: Your Oracular Sight
This class restores trust in ways of knowing that were trained out of us. It situates intuition inside lineage, ethics, and responsibility, not prediction or performance. Oracular sight is remembered here as collective, relational, and wise enough to alter direction with care.
Inner Territory Journey: Rebirth
This class sits at the friction point between decay and emergence. It does not promise renewal or improvement. It honors rebirth as a cycle older than choice, arriving only after something has truly decomposed.
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.
Rooted In Power: Menstrual Health & Herbal Wisdom For Sovereign Cycles With Natalie Stoemmer
This class brings us into direct relationship with the menstrual cycle as a source of intelligence and authority. We slow down enough to learn how the body actually functions and what it has been communicating all along. Plant allies are introduced as steady supports, offering care, resilience, and regulation through cyclical living. This is a space where trust in the body begins to rebuild and power grows through listening, consistency, and informed choice.
Inner Territory Journey: Feeling Good Is Feeling God
This journey treats pleasure, goodness, and aliveness as vulnerable states rather than indulgences. It challenges spiritual traditions that equate holiness with deprivation and restores sensation as a doorway to the sacred.
Inner Territory Journey: Embodied
This journey pulls the soul back into form. It rejects disembodied transcendence and instead roots inner work in gravity, sensation, and presence. The body leads here, not the mind, carrying us deeper and recalibrating to the womb of the Earth. Inner Territory work sees the body not as something separate from the soul, but one part of a complex soul system. To recover our exiled parts, our agency, our most central Self, we move deeper into the body.
Writer’s Soul: Octavia Butler, The Oracular Role of Writing Into The Future
Octavia Butler teaches us how to write from inside the future without leaving the present behind. In this class we sit with her life and her work as a living practice of imagination, responsibility, and truth-telling. We pay attention to how she wrote herself into worlds that did not yet exist, how she held fear, power, collapse, and possibility in the same breath, and how her stories continue to speak long after they were written. Writing here becomes a form of listening forward, a way of placing the self inside collective becoming without losing the edges of what is real. This class meets writers who feel the pull to imagine differently and to write in service of what wants to live.
Self Reclamation: Beyond the Wall
This journey follows on from the Cord Cutting: Invasive Roots. Here, we listen to defenses instead of tearing them down. We ask what the wall has been protecting and whether it still needs to stand. Reclamation happens through respect for survival intelligence. As always, we move slowly, with intention, and on behalf of all our parts of Self. There is no rush, no need to force or conjure an outcome.
Writer’s Soul: Joy Harjo
This class sits inside Joy Harjo’s way of listening to the world. We move through her poems as landscapes shaped by breath, memory, grief, and belonging, paying attention to how voice carries responsibility to land, ancestors, and spirit. We stay close to the tenderness and ferocity in her writing, the way image and truth travel together without explanation. Writing here feels devotional and grounded, guided by what has been carried forward and what still needs a voice.
Cord Cutting: Invasive Roots
Cord cutting is held here as a gardening practice rather than a severing, guided by relationship with land, body, and the wisdom of what is native.
If you can, try to spend some time in Nature before this cord cutting. Watch the way plants, animals, and elements interact with one another. Observe how the interconnectedness of Nature feels in your own body. Take note of what is native to your part of the world and what is not.
Writer’s Soul: Mary Austin’s Wild Voice
This class sits inside Joy Harjo’s way of listening to the world. We move through her poems as landscapes shaped by breath, memory, grief, and belonging, paying attention to how voice carries responsibility to land, ancestors, and spirit. We stay close to the tenderness and ferocity in her writing, the way image and truth travel together without explanation. Writing here feels devotional and grounded, guided by what has been carried forward and what still needs a voice.
Inner Territory Journey: Below The Deep
In this unique Inner Territory journey we travel through bioluminescent waters, diving all the way to the floor of our inner great sea.
We encounter whale graveyards, the libraries of all of our lifetimes, and we connect to the threads that link us to ourselves and to one another - beyond language and time. We move into depth without urgency, and encounter vast, quiet, connective landscapes. We are reminded of the long story of our souls, that we are made of many lifetimes, stories, and shared threads that persist even in the deepest dark.
Self Reclamation: The Living Altar
We begin building an altar of our energy bodies in the wildest part of our being. This journey is about cultivating relationship with the self as something alive and responsive. The altar is not symbolic or fixed. It moves, shifts, and answers back. What emerges here comes from listening to the energy body in its wild state, and following what calls from beyond reason or plan.
Self Reclamation: Largeness
This journey makes space instead of seeking change. It softens the inner landscape to make room for feral, jagged, grieving, fire breathing parts to lie down without being managed or improved. In this meditation, we offer all parts of ourselves haven rather than transformation, trusting that rest holds its own kind of intelligence.
