Why is it so hard to talk about a belief in the unseen? In this six-week offering, you’ll write to personal prompts, go on guided shamanic journeys, and dip into deep conversation with your peers as a way to understand your spiritual story and more deeply integrate it into the rest of your life.

Whether you consider yourself a writer or just find yourself desiring more comfort with who you are, this class promises to be a fun, deep, and connective experience that brings you toward your full self.

FAQ:

Will the classes be recorded?

Yes! However, they will only be shared with people enrolled in this session of the class. Participants should note they will be recorded in full group experiences (although not in their breakout rooms).

Please note that if by chance no one arrives for a class, that class will not be taught. While I’m open to recording these sessions for busy lives and varied time zones, this is still primarily a live offering. After all, the Daylight Club is about sharing openly with others and practicing being seen.

Are payment plans available?

A two-payment plan is available for paid Substack subscribers ($222/month). This plan incurs extra website and administrative fees. All payment plans must be completed by April 30. (Become a paid supporter of The Wild and Holy Moment here.)

Will this class be useful to serious writers who are interested in drafting essays about spirituality?

Yes! We will be writing into topics like: how our childhoods trained us to think about the spirit world; experiences of synchronicity; how people in our life respond to magical topics; initiation experiences and mythic/archetypal patterns in our lives; our animal and plant allies; and more. Although the emphasis on this class will not be on revising or publishing these essays, a serious writer should get some good “starts” out of the process and evolve in their thinking and comfort with this type of storytelling. Reading assignments from recent memoirs that engage spirituality openly are likely.

What is The Daylight Club?

The Daylight Club is a series of events intended to help those who’ve grown up inside Western/ modern/ Christian/ scientific materialist cultures own and reaffirm their belief in magic and the animacy of all things.
