BrightFlame’s Teaching

My workshops blend spirituality, science, and activism to foster interconnection and resilience and to help us expand our notion of what is possible. I teach to spur imagination and creative problem-solving for our futures.

In the magical realm, whether teaching a week-long path at a Witchcamp or offering a workshop in my flavor of the Craft, I facilitate experiences for  insights to come through, and I model Reclaiming’s ecstatic way of working.

For general audiences, I offer workshops on solarpunk, on narrative and story, on de-centering humans amidst Earth kin, and on visceral imagination.

For both magical and general audiences, my teaching helps us bring forward bright futures and be more effective in the world.

Next up: I’m on a solarpunk panel at British Fantasy Society’s writing for social justice conference in January, and teaching an online path for Winter Witchcamp in February. Info on these and other offerings and events on my Schedule.
