Women, Writing, and Soul-Making: Creativity and the Sacred Feminine

by Peggy Tabor Millin

Overview

"Women, Writing, and Soul-Making" is an invitation for your to explore the feminine, with all its strengths and vulnerabilities, as the way to claim your creative power, your writing, and your life. You will be shown a process for your writing practice and told why such a practice is helpful and necessary. You will find support and encouragement for your creative journey, which ultimately is the journey to revealing your center, you true self, your soul.

What you will find throughout these pages are insights rather than arguments, suggestions rather than methods, possibilities rather than absolutes. As a result, the content creates space for you, trusting you to interact with what is being said and to create your own path. I invite you to be with the material and to mine it for the answers to the deeper questions that it may arouse.
