The Oracle Writes Back

The Oracle Writes Back: Creative Awakening Through Archetype, Movement & Writing

Creative energy is tied to our roots, to the earth, and to the unseen. What parts of you have been suppressed, separated, or masked to feel free? What masks do you long to wear that help you feel free? Sometimes these parts can only be awakened in the body, in witnessing, when we open the portal to our creative energy through image, through one another. We begin with a card pull from the Oracle Archetype deck, moving with its imagery through Body Temple–inspired movement and writing from that awakened place. Moving back and forth between writing and movement, and witnessing one another’s words, the channel deepens. Together we explore what it means to “accept all, reject none,” writing shamelessly and through the heart.

What to expect:

• Archetype card pull as a portal into imagery
• intuitive, guided movement that awakens the body as a channel for expression
• Shamanic embodied writing practice
• Partner and group witnessing

You will leave with:

• Fresh access to your creative energy
• A surprising piece of writing that reveals hidden layers
• The felt experience of reclaiming what has long been silenced
