Jennifer Browdy and Spring Cheng
When we write memoir with the intention of honoring the feminine principle, we organize and weave our past experience to prepare a “womb” to receive the seeds of the future that want to be born through our present being. The seeds of the future do not come from planning or strategizing, the kind of mental activities centered around cerebral processing. Instead, they are rooted in a deep nurturing instinct, a yin-receptivity and listening, and embodied and intuitive intelligence that is always pregnant with the future.
Spring Cheng, together with memoirist and memoir coach Jennifer Browdy, will share how this future-oriented art of memoir-writing expands personal narrative to include the planetary and transpersonal, balancing the deep presence of the feminine with the active principles of the masculine. Jennifer will discuss her purposeful approach to weaving together individual, societal and planetary life threads into a single rich textual tapestry, and Spring will share how memoir-writing can serve as preparation for studying the I Ching oracle and the art of cultivating resonance between the inner and outer.
This session is an introduction to the upcoming class “Life as Oracle (1): Weaving a Personal-Planetary Life Narrative,” which will begin in January 2025.
