We’re delighted to announce the fifth iteration of The Compost Library: WRITING THE SHIFT – Writing Towards Transformation.
Across four gently held sessions, we’ll explore the radical tenderness of Loving Corrections by adrienne maree brown; a text rooted in emergent strategy, care-based accountability, and transformative justice. This course invites you to approach writing not just as a creative act, but as a process of ongoing personal and collective change.
Where previous Compost Library programmes began with authors offering creative structures or ecological cosmologies, this iteration centres writing as a relational and restorative practice; one that allows us to compost perfectionism, shame and fear, and nurture new stories through trust, truth, and connection.
With brown’s lens of “loving correction” as our guide, we’ll explore how to meet ourselves and each other with more curiosity and compassion. We’ll ask: what needs to be rewritten? What stories are ready to evolve? How can we practice creative accountability on the page and beyond it?
“Loving correction is the root of transformative justice. We want to call people back in, not out. We want to bring people back into right relationship.” — adrienne maree brown
Each week we’ll read together, write in community, and reflect through prompts, dialogue and gentle somatic practices. This course is about slowing down, listening closely, and allowing what wants to emerge to take shape. It’s for writers, artists, organisers and anyone drawn to the messy, beautiful process of becoming.
LOGISTICS
We are inviting 30 participants to join us for all 4 sessions. By making this commitment, we create a tender and consistent container for shared learning, trust-building and storytelling.
