Coming Home | A women’s writing seminarLand – Self – Community
Following Indigenous Mother, Writer, Poet and Botanist Robin Wall Kimmerer and Chicana activist and writer Gloria Anzaldúa, this seminar will explore the ways that coming home to our interconnectedness with nature guides us back to our self and, in turn, builds a home for authentic community.
We will study the teachings distilled in Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge, and the Teachings of Plants and Borderlands/La Frontera: The New Mestiza, to gather understanding of the relationship between nurturing our connection with nature and reintegrating our internal landscape.
The study of Kimmerer and Anzaldúa’s life philosophies will go hand in hand with an exploration of the structure and craft of their essays as guides for our own creative writing. Paying attention to the way that these authors cultivate meaning through metaphor, symbolism, hybrid language, and narrative arc, we will learn to craft our own explorations into self, land, language, and the spirit that weaves all together.
Join us for a 4 week excursion into reconnecting our selves and our stories with our roots in the land.
This seminar will be led by mother, writer, and teacher Elisabeth Hedrick, with Diana Dos Santos holding ceremonial space and offering ancestral cacao medicine as a gentle companion to our writing practice. Each gathering will open with intention-setting, grounding, and cacao shared in a reverent way to support presence, heart-centered reflection, and creative flow. Ceremony will be woven throughout our time together, creating a container that honors writing as both a creative and relational practice rooted in reciprocity with self, community, and Earth.
