Beyond Boundaries 2025: Writing workshop with Stephanie Adams-Santos

Stephanie Adams-Santos: "In my hand it felt like singing"

Our hands are archives of vast ecological memory and imagination. In this somatic/creative writing workshop, we will attune to the dreaming capacity of our bodies, returning to the trees and waters that shaped us, asking what we might surrender, what we might tend, and how our imaginations can be returned to life itself.

(RSVP required/limited space available)

Stephanie Adams-Santos is a multidisciplinary artist working across poetry, screenwriting, illustration and ritual. Their work draws from the ancestral, mythological, and dream realms of inner life. They are the author of several poetry collections and chapbooks, including Dream of Xibalba (selected by Jericho Brown as winner of the 2021 Orison Poetry Prize; finalist for the 2024 Oregon Book Award and Lambda Literary Award) and Swarm Queen’s Crown (2016 Lambda finalist). Stephanie has written for film, radio, and television, and is currently developing Ojo de la Selva Tarot — a mythic, animist tarot deck for divining with ancestral and ecological memory.
