Welcome to
Writing Your Lead Into Gold
The Transformational Power of Your Story
with Mirabai Starr
Welcome, brave, friend.
This event has ended but you can still access the recordings below.
Thank you for saying yes to the invitation to leap into the crucible of creativity. May you be transformed!
Not that there is a thing wrong with the way you were. There is not! This isn’t a curative methodology. It’s a beckoning. Come close to the heat, melt.
Toss your cherished stories into the flames of your own wild heart and see what emerges when you step back and let it.
]If you are a writer whose writing has towed the line for too long, unmoor yourself here. May you enter deeper waters and discover hidden treasures. If you are a spiritual practitioner whose practices have become overly pious and disembodied, let writing open the gate back up to your divine connection.
Your preparation items are below.
To prepare for Writing Your Lead Into Gold
Create your Sacred Writing Space
We encourage you to gather a few items as we launch this journey:
1. Your writing materials
This can be a special journal or a document on your computer
2. Remember to pace yourself and nurture yourself as you go.
Even though each session is relatively short, it can be an intense process. Drink water, get up and stretch, and be kind to yourself in the times in between.
3. Know that you are about to connect with a circle of companions who will be accompanying you on this sacred adventure, probably beyond the boundaries of these three days.
Take refuge in community.
Transmute the base substance of your personal pain into something luminous.
The Weekend Flow
Dancing With Your Memories
Friday Feb 23rd 5-7pm Pacific
Maybe it happened; maybe it didn’t. Today we explore the fertile space between memory and creativity. You are not expected to be a historian of your life. Rather, you are invited into a co-creative dance with the things you remember and the way your imagination quickens them into story, into revelation, into art.
The Wisdom of Your Broken Heart
Saturday Feb 24th 8-11am Pacific
Our sorrows are intermingled with longing. Today we reclaim the sanctity of desire. Hard things have happened to you. How have they unraveled and rewoven you? Your losses are a portal to greater aliveness. Let writing carry you across that threshold.
Reclaiming Your Origin Story
Sunday Feb 25th 8-11am Pacific
Your past contains an endless fountain of writing material. Today we dive in and scoop it up. You do not need to belong to a prominent family who took you on unforgettable adventures or broke you beyond repair to be worthy of writing about your people. The most ordinary experiences are imbued with transformational power when you tell them with your own vivid and authentic voice.
