Conversations
Join us for conversations that engage writers and seekers in meaningful discussions about creative practice and transformation.
In person and over Zoom.
Past Conversations
These conversations often leave us in awe of the creative capacity we humans are gifted with.
We record the conversations every chance we can get, but only leave them up for 30-days publicly. After that, we shift them into our online writing community, which we host on Mighty Networks. More info to come!
The Poetics of Rage & Reverence
This conversation with Charity E. Yoro left us wondering about how poetry can help us channel our rage and reverence both in a world that is falling apart at the seams, or at the very least, seems to be. Listen and be inspired by her poetic voice and learn about how writing can be a transformative practice—for all of us.!

Heeding Spirit Voices: Intuition & Healing in A Council of Dolls
Long-time writer friends Mona Susan Power and Elizabeth Fletcher discuss the part intuition plays in their writing practices. Readers often imagine that creative writing is a wholly cerebral enterprise where each step of the way authors make conscious choices regarding craft, character, and plot. In reality, some writers surrender to the mystery of a process that can never be controlled, but rather is accessed by an open-hearted trust in the deep intelligence of our connection to all beings, past and present. Part of the conversation will focus on Power's recently published novel, A Council of Dolls, which felt like a gift from her ancestors rather than a project she chose to write. This event co-sponsored by Literary Witnesses.
