In addition to one live class the Heavenly Bodies Summer Writing Program will be virtual, delivered through a series of email lessons for all genders that include weekly writing prompts, self-care tips, readings, activity and/or research suggestions, podcasts and/or video links, and more. The prompts, readings and other tidbits will center the physical body, the emotional body, connection to place, ancestral wisdom, and plant medicine, and aim to help you connect more deeply with your own body and to spark inspiration to deepen your creativity and care of self and community.
Participants will receive one weekly email newsletter for eight weeks and will have an option of receiving feedback from me on one piece of writing for an additional fee (very limited number of spots available for this, please email me directly to inquire). Emails will go out early Saturday mornings, beginning June 17 (near Summer Solstice) until August 5 (near Lammas). Our live class will be on Tuesday August 1 at 6:30pm.
What: Virtual self-paced writing workshop for all genders and bodies
When: Eight weekly emails, starting Saturday, June 17 until Saturday, August 5. Live class on Tuesday, August 1 at 6:30pm
Cost: $135-$265/sliding scale. $125 if you sign up with a buddy (you must each email to let me know when you register, please!) Email me at danisavestheworld@gmail.com to enroll! Payments accepted via Venmo and Paypal

A note about this newish/hybrid format and fees: As I navigate wildly fluctuating energy levels from some ongoing health issues, this is the most sustainable way for me to offer long term workshops. I’ve infused an abundance of love and care into crafting and expanding this course and I’m excited that it can reach more people for a longer period of time than my usual offerings. For folks who prefer a group setting, we will have one live group class on Zoom at the end of the session. I also suggest signing up with friends and getting together to write, talk about class materials, share your experience, make herbal medicine together, etc.
As always, I am offering this on a sliding scale fee to ensure accessibility for a range of people from different backgrounds. Please read this great post from Worts and Cunning about sliding scale fees as tools for social justice and equality. My sliding scale breaks down as follows:
$125 (if you sign up with a buddy!)
$135 (this equals $16.80 per week (just under the hourly minimum wage in California) or $67.50 per month)
$200 (this equals $25 per week or $100/month)
$265 (this equals $33 per week or $132/month)
