At work in every piece of good writing is something beyond craft and mechanics. It can't be codified. It can't be seen. It can't be proven. But it's there, moving about.
*
The thing is spirit. Invisibles. Magic. Mystery. Myth. The Imaginal Realm. The Dream-world. Intuition. The Unconscious.
*
We see spirit at work in good writing and we want to know where it comes from and how we employ it. How do we engage the unconscious and get to the magic? Do psychedelics work? Can the ancestors assist us? Does wildness help? Does a land-centric life get us closer to it? We sign up for craft classes & enroll in writing workshops & read how-to books, yet almost never do any of these address this most vital part of writing.
*
In this 75-minute live lecture Ray will talk about our relationship with spirit in many of its forms, from a gut feeling to dreams to divination. She will examine deep sources of power, ways to tap that power, and ways to transfer it to the page.
This lecture is about finding meaning in words, reanimating language, and turning to invisibles in order to help us rewild our stories and ourselves.
