A Prompt from Hélène Cixous

Dear Brave Writers,

September is here! This September the Survivor's Agenda Summit will take place to create an agenda to end sexual violence! https://survivorsagenda.org

Here is a quote (and a prompt) from one of my favorite writers of all time, 

“By writing her self, woman will return to the body which has been more than confiscated from her, which has been turned into the uncanny stranger on display - the ailing or dead figure, which so often turns out to be the nasty companion, the cause and location of inhibitions. Censor the body and you censor breath and speech at the same time. Write your self. Your body must be heard. Only then will the immense resources of the unconscious spring forth.” 

― Hélène Cixous, The Laugh of the Medusa

In addition to this being a call to all of us to write our bodies and our selves, I am also inspired to write the uncanny stranger on display or hiding; the ailing or dead figure who is in deed the cause of inhibitions. This also calls me to erase the censor through creating the spells to do so and to call forth the immense resources of the all of my being in community with all of you.

Join me in Brave Space where we can do this together.
