FROM THE BODY: UNCOVERING HIDDEN NARRATIVES. AN IMMERSIVE CREATIVE WRITING + MEDITATION EXPERIENCE

We often write from the mind – filtered, polished, and safe. But what happens when you start from within?

From The Body is more than a creative writing workshop. It is a meditation.It is returning to yourself to uncover the truths, secrets, and myths that appear from a body seen. Tap deeply into the myriad of narratives yet to be written.

In this heart-centered meditation and writing experience, we will ground ourselves with the intent to create and deepen our connection to craft the narratives that shake the body loose.

Featuring new work, poetry from limited editions, and selections from previously published books selected by the author, The Burning Key is a meditation on hope as resistance.

Publisher’s Weekly has hailed Gates as an artist that, “[T]akes seriously both the daily news with its constant abuses of power, and art’s power to create news that stays news.” The Burning Key is a testament to the communities and legacies that sustain intimate relationships and bridge intergenerational social movements. A student and teacher of history, Gates’s literary legacy lies in her unflinching awareness that brings wounds to surface and violence to account, commemorating necessary truths with clear-eyed accuracy as a member of the LGBTQ+ community. The voices needed for these stories connect through the poet’s eyes, mind, and heart. Gates says, “I have a need to connect and stay curious. Connecting is about survival in dealing with the world.” Poet F***y Howe praises Gates’ work, “The poise of these poems can’t subdue the deep feeling in them. Gates—daughter and activist, teacher and friend—recount[s] visions and events from the late 70s on, lifts it all up and lets it fly again.”
