Writing as resistance, reclamation & ritual

Feral Words episode 6

In this episode I chat with writer and creatrix Sheree Mack, and we explore creative practice as ritual, as well as holding the both/and/all of being a writer in this complex world.

Sheree is a writer, creatrix, and space holder who weaves words with ancestral memory, fierce tenderness, and a reverence for the wild - both within and around us. Her work walks the edge between personal and political, sacred and embodied, calling forth the untold stories that live in Black women’s bodies and lineages.

We talk about:

  • Honouring a daily writing practice alongside seasonal fluctuations in creativity

  • The reclamation of voice, and writing as resistance and healing

  • The roots and story behind for black birds pushing against glass

  • Writing beyond structures and ‘rules’ - writing from our own essence

You can find out more about Sheree and her work over on her website - Living Wild Studios (make sure to check out her blog, which is updated regularly!).


P.S. Don’t forget…

Tomorrow evening I’m holding a free session - Root to Canopy - for writers who want to grow their presence with rhythm, care and wildhearted authenticity.

In the session we’ll explore:

  • The difference between presence and performance

  • How to grow an author identity that feels like your heartwood

  • A living metaphor for your writing life - root to canopy

  • A simple, symbolic map of where you are now (and where you’re growing next)

We begin at 7pm (UK time) - join us?
