Writing the Matrilineal

This workshop will help us cultivate the seeds of history and story from our mothers and other women ancestors. We will revisit tales we've heard throughout childhood and life--or experiences we've had with women in our family--as inspiration for fantastical fiction. We will invite a little magic into the real world of everyday lives. The magic we create may be in the realm of the very possible (like caregiving for the sick) to the impossible (escaping danger through the supernatural). We will look at various examples in published texts and have time to start our own stories.
