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.

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 a panelist (Eco Fiction; Burnout for Creatives) at the wonderful WisCon, the feminist convention for fantasy & sci fi, in late May. I’ll offer a session on the Solarpunk Pentacle at SpiralHeart in June and a related full-week path at Tejas Web’s Wild Alchemy in October.  Info on these and other offerings and events on my Schedule. Watch for online sessions related to the magic in The Working.

Watch for more online and in-person workshops, classes, and talks
