Sacred Script: A Contemplative Writing Community for QT/BIPOC

Uncertainty feels like a long time stay, doesn’t it? Do you find yourself having a difficult time knowing what to do in the space in-between? Have you gone to the protest, signed the petitions, done “the work” and are asking yourself “Now what?”

In the gap between action and manifestation, sometimes unwanted guests come knocking – be it fear, grief, anxiety, or others.  These guests can crowd our house of self and make it difficult to reconnect to what really matters.  

The conditions of our spirit matter as much as that of our mind and body.  Spirit offers root when there appears to be none.  In a time when we are inundated daily of the dissolve of our lands, violence, illness, and violations of human rights, we need to find ways to stay present and nurture an ongoing connection with what matters most to us versus draining our energy in reaction to the myriad of atrocities lining our feed. 

This gathering is a practice of sacredness, of sacred inquiry to deepen our roots as the torrents of change pass through.  It will keep us dreaming and sculpting through the pen what we want to see.  Through teachings, multiple practices, poetry, small group work, play in between sessions, and large group invitations, we will create a contemplative writing community in practice of emergence and opening to Spirit, however you define it, to offer support and insight.

If you identify as QT/BIPOC join Dr. g for 5 weeks Thursdays starting September 1, 2022 8:00 - 9:30 AM PST for a 90-minute practice of sacred inquiry. Every meeting will include:

  • 30 minutes of contemplative practice (meditation, yoga nidra, etc) led by Dr. g

  • 30 minutes of quiet time to write 

  • 30 minutes to share in small group & large group discussion on connection with uncertainty

ancestral whispers

"You are not a machine. Stop grinding." - Tricia Hersey of Nap Ministry

We are cultured to churn to produce answers, while often, the answers we are seeking are truly contained in questions and musings beyond our concrete and biased thoughts. This is an invitation to attune with the wisdom of deep listening brought by the Aries New Moon and to call in and connect with other forms of support such as Nature, God/dess, Spirit/deities and ancestors of blood and communal lineages. In order to access this sacred conversation, join Dr. g in a live on select Thursdays 4:30-6:00PM PST for a 90-minute practice of sacred inquiry.  


During this live session, we will discuss the lesson of total lunar eclipse in Scorpio occuring May 15, 2022 9:14 PM PDT and use the technologies of Yoga Nidra, writing, art, poetry, and silence in service of:

  • moving deeper into relationship with the spaces of uncertainty

  • strengthening connection with your innate wisdom

  • create ways to connect with supportive wisdom (i.e., Nature, God, spirit, ancestor) that fits you
