What Our Mothers Didn't Teach Us: Desire, Sex, and the Erotic as Power is a virtual generative writing workshop that blends the Amherst Writers & Artists (AWA) Method with somatic practices to reframe a woman's right to experience Desire, Sex, and the Erotic without shame, guilt, or censure.
This 8-Week writing workshop series is rooted in safety, confidentiality, and affirmation. Participants are guided to shape their authentic identities into auto-fiction — a literary style that blends autobiographical truth with fictional storytelling — through curated writing prompts inspired by womanist and sex positive philosophy, alongside original poetry and visual imagery.
During this eight week workshop, women craft rage, stillness, and self-reinvention into narrative, all while challenging societal narratives around if and how women have the right to experience and expect pleasure.
Somatic practices—including grounding breath work, smile yoga and guided meditation—support embodiment and emotional release throughout each 3-hour session. In addition to 24-hours of live, high-touch interactions, writers who sign up for Section One receive access to the following:
1:1 45-Minute Writing Doula Service Package
Voice Message Support during weeks three-six
FOUNDING MEMBER BONUS: Lifetime access to our private Skool community before it transitions to a paid monthly membership
By the close, participants will have a finished body of auto-fiction work, along with a new language, image, and perspective for reconnecting with desire, sex, and the erotic as a source of power and creativity. As an act of reclamation and becoming.
The workshop series is designed for women and femmes in their reclamation era, ready to take what she already knows and shape it into an auto-fiction narrative. It’s time to be the main character in your story.
