KATABASIS: EROTIC writing from the depths

Join us as we descend into the underworld of the year for an erotic journey of initiation. We will make our own creative foray in the legacy of Inanna's and Persephone's descent. We will call on mythologies, goddess archetypes, the lunar cycle, poetic texts, somatic exercises, and more to explore the life/death/life cycle that governs all bodies. This is an invitation for writers and storytellers of all levels and genres to dance with our shadow stories, seed new creative visions, and celebrate our reclaimed erotic energy, while we compost our traumas into the mycelial web of evolving possibilities.

We will offer gratitude to our bodies and earth body, stretch into our desires, reinvigorate our connection to eros, and recover true feeling. This embodied and sensual writing workshop series is an offering to play, find pleasure in writing, and dream into being your most powerful, vibrant self. As a community, we'll co-create a loving container to be seen and access the fullness of our voices, bodies, spirits, and shadows. We will activate our creativity through song, movement, writing, plant play, and other forms of sensual expression.
