The Heroine's Journey with Dr Sarah Nicholson

An  invitation to storytellers, writers, and creative women who wish to  reclaim and reimagine your deeper creative inspiration and purpose  through your unique heroine’s story.

For  the longest time, while the hero conquered, the heroine was written as a  figure awaiting rescue. But the rising wave of the feminine has  uncovered a great lost legacy: stories of heroines who have awoken to  the call to adventure and, together with allies, have faced down  challenges in order to bring their community the gifts born through  their trials.

Together  with acclaimed Australian writer and The Heroines Festival director, Dr  Sarah Nicholson will we listen for the lost histories of our female  ancestors, celebrate other women’s journeys, and find inspiration in our  own.

A  powerful creative evening of nourishment through writing and sharing,  where we will engage with our own creative processes in order to deeply  connect with the archetype of the heroines journey.

================ Dr  Sarah Nicholson is the creative director of The Heroines Festival. She  is an academic and writer who teaches in literature, philosophy,  creative arts, gender and religious studies.

=============== The  supper UNYOKED series are a living breathing continuum of the YOKE  ethos – to increase positive impact and expansion with heart, mind and  effort.

Nourishing  our spirit with a call to community, these new contemplative suppers by  YOKE magazine are motivated by the power of ancient wisdom and  conversation exploring what we can become, if we took up the mantle of  co-creation collectively.
