😈 Dance & Write Your Dark Desires...

Sally-Shakti Willow with Drum & Dark Moon Headdress. Poetry Performance at Into the Wild, Summer 2022.

What would you write if you could say anything you desired and nothing was holding you back?

Have you ever felt small and silenced - unable to say what you mean when you're writing? 

🤭 Maybe you are worrying about what people will think, or that your truth doesn't fit. 

While I was writing my PhD, I was in a constant battle with myself about not fitting in. My poetry was too weird for an academic audience. And it was too academic for the hippies I was hanging out with... 

🤔 But a lot of that was my own perception, projection and insecurity. Over time, I started to find ways to share my poetry that resonated with people across the different contexts - and I started to find my people as a result. The people I resonated with most, because our frequencies aligned.

If I wasn't writing my truth and speaking my truth, I wasn't in my own integrity. And that showed up in all the ways my life was out of alignment. 

Since I completed my thesis, I've also been doing a deep dive into my own ancestral healing. Beginning to recognise and release the stories I've inherited and perpetuated that are no longer serving me. 

The more I write and journal, the more I see what's true for me. The more I move and breathe, the more I'm able to heal and release. 

This Samhain (Halloween), I'm inviting you to join me as we Dance & Write our Deep Desires - looking into our own shadows to heal, release and set ourselves free. 

On Wednesday 26 October, the New Moon will be in Scorpio, just after the preceding day's partial Solar Eclipse. It's time for a deep dive. 

😈Will you dare to enter the dark?😈

Wednesday 26 October, 4-6pm UK Time (BST). Online. 

Bookings open Monday 10 October at 10.10am. 

I hope to see you there! 👻
