It's been a long time since God,
or gumption. We have stayed
complacent in our twisted desires.
What has forced me to work on this book is the current state of our world where I've had to interrogate, over and over, the extent and limitations of love in the making of change. It is a book I hope will help us better understand the meaning of love and universal brotherhood and perhaps shock us back to life.

Calling all witches, oracles, earth angels, and dreamers! In this workshop, we will write through grounded practices of somatic rituals to access the divine parts of ourselves in creative writing. Open to all levels, from beginners to published authors. The only requirement is a deep wonder for the unknown. We'll read tarot cards and contemporary poems alongside each other to activate generative links between intuiting signs and language. To sharpen intuition through symbols. No dream goes unturned. Take a deep breath and follow the echoes of your spirit.
