If you didn’t make it to our ‘Writing the Shift’ workshops, please see this special edition workbook bundle as your hybrid solution. Included here is an A4 4-booklet pack of all the course material we provided over the sessions for ‘Writing the Shift’, printed and wiro bound, for you to work with at your own pace and leisure from wherever you are. Edited and designed by Clem MacLeod and P. Eldridge.

This course material explores 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
