🌓Equinox Energies in Your Writing🌓

Written By Sally-Shakti Willow

It's time to realign.

This week, the Autumn Equinox (here in the northern hemisphere) invites us to rebalance as we draw down into the autumn towards winter. 

On Friday 23 September, the day and night will be of equal length and we're given an opportunity in this strong polarisation to check in with ourselves - to ask what we need and where we're going. 

Sunday 25th is the New Moon in Libra - another invitation to enquire within and enter that still point at our centre that deeply knows. 

With your writing, you may feel a strong pull towards shutting out the world and immersing yourself in a project that's been calling to you, or this may feel like a ripe time for deeper self-enquiry through journaling.  

I'm noticing in myself a deep call to turn inwards, to really give time and space and energy to the writing that wants to move through me. That the expansive summer energies are ripe and ready to harvest, and that the serious business of writing requires deep time, deep presence and deep commitment. 

🎉 To celebrate the Autumn Equinox - Mabon in the Celtic calendar - I am relaunching my FREE Journaling & Shakti Practices Course today 🎉

Journaling & Shakti Practices is a mini-invitation to dive within and do the deep work of realignment and self-empowerment this season. The prompts and practices can support you to take time for your own inner enquiry this autumn and prepare you to realign with your own deep inner wisdom.

Journaling & Shakti Practices is a 5-part video course that you'll receive via email, every day for 5 days. It also includes downloadable and printable journaling sheets for you to write on. 

It's my gift to you as we enter the start of the writing season!

Writing my PhD in Utopian Poetics showed me what it means to be a writer. I wrote four books of poetry and a 50,000 word thesis, and I started journaling as a way to ground and heal myself.

While I was studying, I also wrote and maintained the Contemporary Small Press website, writing regular reviews of new fiction and poetry published by small presses. I was on the judging panel for the 2018 Republic of Consciousness Prize for literary fiction from the small presses. So I was reading a lot of great writing too. And I co-developed and taught a series of workshops called WELLBEING WHILE WRITING for doctoral researchers at the University of Westminster.

WELLBEING WHILE WRITING used practical techniques from Creative Writing pedagogy to support PhD students of all disciplines with the work of WRITING their thesis. I also used my knowledge and experience of yoga and meditation to provide MOVING & BREATHING FOR WELLBEING workshops to graduate students at the University.

I’ve been teaching English since 2004 and I’ve been teaching Creative Writing at the University of Westminster since 2017.
