In my work with hundreds of women over the past few years a theme has emerged: women’s desperate, unquenchable desire to step into their power, countered by the fear of what will happen if they do. The longing to express the riches inside them, wrestling with the deep terror of being burned by the judgement, hatred or rejection of strangers or loved ones if they do.
This fear of being burned is an oddly female one. It is a fear which keeps us small and scared. Women have an innate knowing of what it means to burn…and be burned. They know the dangers in their bones. And it makes them wary.
It is time – can you feel it? – to face your fears, break your silence, embody the fire and claim your voice. Learn how to harness archetype and metaphor to get to the beating heart of expressing your authentic self.
For almost two decades I have written words for women – in books and blogs and articles for magazines and newspapers. I have woven ceremonies and led groups, I have taught classes and talked and listened to women around the world. I know that there is a hunger, a yearning, right now. Many, many women can feel something stirring within, and they sense something stirring without. Something far bigger than just their desire to paint or write or a business or a protest. There is a collective burning igniting within women. A deep need to tell our stories and be heard. A longing to heal past hurts and move beyond them, into something big and bold and fresh and new.
Let us write through the fear together and – finally, finally – get through to the other side. Let us write the words that have been silenced. Let us be the selves we have been hiding in fear. Let us become who we are, by reclaiming ourselves – our voices, our stories, our thoughts and feelings – on paper. Let us write ourselves into becoming.

What Lucy’s Students Say About Her Classes
The profound sense of safety and openness really stood out – both in the live Zoom gathering and the Facebook group, which was the most supportive, creative and respectful online space I’ve encountered in any course. Lucy has a rare gift for creating an environment where creativity blossoms and sharing feels natural, and sacred. Thank you so very much! – Vlatka Herzberg, Song Story Guide, CA, USA
I really appreciate your caring and sharing much valuable information with us. I love your enthusiasm, your clarity and genuine concern.
I truly enjoyed each session.

Together we will learn – how to shift from the mundane to the liminal
To leave behind how we should write and what we should write and dedicate ourselves to the emergent – that which longs to emerge through us
The raw, the real, the strange,
Accessing our Feminine flow.
Embodied writing practices.
Weaving word and image – crafting original and compelling metaphorical language.
Calling upon and writing from archetypal energy.
Accessing the authentic voice of many many aspects of yourself.
You don’t need to write like me… or even yourself.
Give yourself the freedom to not fit into anybody else’s expectation,
But rather to wonder at the strangeness of your own emergence
To get turned on by the fierce feminine that pours out of you onto the page.
We are shifting ourselves.
We are shifting the world.
Dancing her into a new orbit.
We are filling in the space where our voices were silenced
Filling in the blanks where our images have been lacking.
We are weaving her-story into reality.
Unweaving the limiting his-stories. Creating our-story.
Reaching beyond religion and patriarchy and capitalism and so-called democracy
Into new ways of being and seeing.
We are the bridge between worlds
We are the ones we have been waiting for.
Arise, Burning Woman!
