Moving Past Fear to Writing Your Truth
Join us for our Duende District x MahoganyBooks Pieces of Eight Workshop Series, hosted by writer/creative/cultural architect Risikat “Kat” Okedeyi.

About the Workshop:
This holistic & generative workshop will explore writing from a healing and spiritual perspective. Attendees will learn to create writing rituals, engage in writing exercises designed to get at the heart of the matter and reframe the writing process so that fear does not stifle the process.
