For Authors, Writers, Poets, and Wolf-Women

Registration Is Open

To write is to be haunted well by the ghosts who know us best. Here, we walk the otherworldly road beyond our place of comfort and head for the hidden house. We listen. We howl. We scry a vision from the soft glow of a vacant page, witching whole worlds into being while our civilized self sleeps, stitching poetry from forgotten threads of our most lawless memories, and welcoming the spirits of our feral foremothers who tucked spells inside stories just for us, who wore their wild skins in secret and gathered ‘round the hearth to speak of the forbidden ways.

The Book of Wild course is a 13-week intensive journey into book-writing, storytelling, oracle deck creation, and personal myth-work. We begin under the Harvest Moon in September and “witch the book” into being as the autumn ghosts come creeping, as the old ones speak to us and through us while the nights grow long.

Program Structure

In the months leading up to the program’s beginning, participants will begin slow-brewing their book, familiarizing themselves with the old stories, tracking their personal myth, working on introductory writing exercises and gathering bones. Immediately upon registration, participants have access to the course portal and can begin the foundational work, explore more than 100 hours of prerecorded writing and storytelling classes with Danielle, and begin sensing “the word that wants to be written.” The course portal is very loosely facilitated until we begin on September 19^th, just before the autumnal equinox when the dark begins to swallow the light. Good stories want the dark, after all.

Beyond our beginning, participants will dive into the weekly work which includes seeing their personal story through the lens of 13 fairy tales, structuring a book- be it a memoir, grimoire, story collection, or another work of non-fiction- that reflects their own personal myth back to them, coming together in small-group sharing circles, and creating a 65-card oracle deck. Optionally, participants may also choose whether or not to pursue traditional publication and script proposals for both their books and oracle decks. This course is versatile in that our work can be applied to various forms of writing and a range of genres, with the “old stories” serving as an author’s lantern.

Small Group Sharing Circles: During Weeks 3, 6, and 9 of the course, Danielle will hold small-group sharing circles. These are optional and only recorded for those who are present live. During the weeks when these small-group meetings are held, there will be three meeting options for participants to choose from; the exact times are TBA, but they will always be during the week, Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday, between 10am and 2pm ET. The small group meetings are typically 60-minutes long. The participant will sign up for the weekly small group meeting that works best for their schedule.

Optional Q&A Sessions with Danielle: Outside of the live immersions and small-group sharing circles, Danielle will also hold 2 Q&A sessions for those who are pursuing traditional publication of their books, oracle deck, or both. These will be recorded and held during the last two weeks of the course.

Weekly Work: Beyond the live meetings, there is weekly work that includes writing prompts, rituals, pathworking ceremonies, building “rooms” in the psychic house for the book to take form, fairy tale exploration and inspiration, and more.

FAQs

I love writing but have never written a thing for public consumption. Is this okay?

Yes. There is no required “proficiency” level for this offering.

Can you help me get published?

This program is not a promise to get published, but, yes, Danielle will share what she knows about the world of publishing, proposals, and query letters.

I’ve already started writing a book. Can I continue my existing project through this program?

Definitely.

My life is bananas. If I am unable to write consistently, will I get booted from the program?

No, no booting. It is best to make room for 1-2 hours each week for the work, though.

I have absolutely no desire to get published or have anyone read anything I write. Is this program for me?

Yes, this is totally fine. We usually have quite a few participants who are in this boat.

Can I give this as a gift?

Maybe. Please email us to discuss this briefly and make sure it’s a good fit.

My question isn’t here. How do I ask it?

TESTIMONIALS FROM PREVIOUS WRITING PROGRAM PARTICIPANTS

“Danielle’s memoir writing offering is a sacred gift for wild creatures with a story to tell. Danielle holds a safe, succulent container for untamed witches to find their voices, mine their truths, and write the long kept stories of their wild souls by way of guided visualization, spirit pathworking prompts, and communal witnessing. Memoir writing in this way is delicious, deep, and satisfying work held by Danielle’s exceptional witchy word magic and expertise.” ~ Heather D.

I haven’t yet found my voice and I am not a writer…. at least that’s what I used to believe. Those were skills belonging to other gifted souls, not ones I yet possessed….or so I thought. Working with Danielle (who I believe is the greatest word witch of my time) and her methodology, I was able to find my voice, bring words to paper and tap into ideas/energies that begged to be shared. Writing for manifestation, gratitude, spellwork and creativity were brought forth from deep within and almost unrecognizable as my own. Her trust, guidance, generosity and acceptance (of you where you are on your journey), made this apprenticeship a bright light in a dark winter, and one my shadow crone will revisit often.”  – Amy A.

“Danielle’s writing mentorship has been such a gentle and supportive push in the right direction. Her writing prompts and invitations to ritual have helped me to see/feel writing as a process of bringing in Spirit/Inspiration from the beyond and from deep inside myself. They have pushed me deeper and helped be more honest in my writing. The meetings with her are always fun and her incites always surprise and delight me. She meets me right where I am and I so appreciate that. I am excited about my future writing journey and her support and enthusiasm are a big part of that! Also, now I feel writing is part of my own creative ritual, and that feels holy. I strongly recommend her mentorship!”  – Ruchi J.

“Having Danielle as a mentor for the writing apprenticeship has been unparalleled to any other creative experience. Her guidance in the ritual and craft of writing has helped to hone in my voice, give inspiration for discipline rather than an ordinary day to day routine and allowed an authenticity to spark. Danielle has a gift as a teacher and the way she so humbly offers herself as a guide on this path.”  – Megan L.
