Defusing Hate & Misogyny

This has been a great week for Brave Space participants! We have reached many milestones! Yes, Sacha Rosel’s first novel is out! My Heart is the Tempest is available now where you buy books! Also many Brave Space participants are reaching important milestones with their own internal selves by moving closer to a new kind of freedom. I’m feeling it (joy, pride, excitement, endless possibilities, rebirth…) and I know that those of you who are experiencing these moments of realization are feeling it too.

I'll just say it: Brave Space was created to destroy the patriarchy and specifically to defuse the hate and misogyny (and the racism, sexism, homophobia, and agism) that stops many of us on our way to making something magical and necessary.

Brave Space was invented to push our culture forward in a good way, to a better place, through story, through art, through daring by way of community, attention and care. And Brave Space works!

I'm not saying it's the only place to get your groove back, but if you can get yourself to Brave Space, you will find a rich array of learning, doing, writing, and allowing, giving, kindness and joy! Even for those working through grief, sadness, and depression, being in community in Brave Space to do this work brings joy. I can see it in all of our faces as we work in the little zoom-boxes, and with the people working with cameras off, we are a community willing to have deep conversations about the process of making work.

Brave Space offers actual exercises to ground you and help you do the work you're here to do and ways to wrangle with your demons, critics and judges. This and so much more will bolster you along your creative way!

Join me this week in Brave Space!
