Black Women’s Summer Writing Intensive

5 Sundays

July 5, 12, 19, 26, and August 2nd

1pm - 3pm EDT

via Zoom

Fee: Sliding Scale ($75 - $250)

We are a community, if you can pay more, make it rain, and the energy will go to a woman who must pay less

This summer is the 25th anniversary of my Women’s Writing Intensive. To mark the occasion I am so excited and grateful to bring to y’all everything I’ve learned about the ways writing can heal our minds, bodies, and ancestral selves from the wounds of colonialism. 

In these 5 Sunday Sessions You Will:

• Write in community with other Black Women from across the diaspora
• Use my #writetoheal #writetodecolonize prompts to write a personal essay
• Learn some daily techniques for staying calm and reconnecting to nature while decolonizing
• Hear the voices of ancestral mother spirits who have left us their healing methods through their stories (fame is not a prerequisite for these voices)

Let us heal, and reconnect. 

Peace to Y’all.

Foraging & Journaling: Re-membering Your Ancestral Plant Connection

Description & Objectives: 

We hold knowledge in our bodies of which plants are our food, medicine and poison. In this workshop, Dr. Lockhart will guide a journal prompt and a silent meditative stroll through flora and fauna that will inspire you to:

• Remember the knowledge of what you can eat and use as medicine in your general environment be it urban or rural
• Restore community connection with your ancestors, elders and community through nature and writing experiences
• Reconnect with nature as the system you belong to as a means of decolonizing.

Journals and pens will be provided for this workshop. No writing experience necessary.
