EMBODYING VENUS
AN 11-Day Exploration of Embodied Writing & Grounded Oracular Channeling
WITH ADRIANA RIZZOLO & GUESTS
January 1-11, 2025
11 Days of Daily Practice + 4 Live Sessions
Early Bird: $111 (Regular: $144)
This is for the woman who knows her voice is buried somewhere beneath the grief, the rage, the ancestral silence.
For the one who's tired of polished, perfect, palatable.
For the writer who needs her body back. For the body that needs her words.
This is for you if you're ready to write from the places patriarchy taught you to fear: your womb, your pussy, your blood-memory, your uncontained rage, your ancestral longing.
This is for the woman who's done enough healing work to know that true transformation doesn't come from transcending the body - it comes from diving deeper into it.
Embodying Venus is where grief becomes gateway. Where pussy-power becomes creative force. Where your womb speaks and you finally learn to listen.
EMBODYING VENUS is aN 11-day sacred dive into grief, power, memory and creative reclamation - a ritual-infused journey where words meet flesh, ancestry, and the wild pulse of lived life.
Over the course of these days we'll write, move, breathe, perform, and channel: using somatic practices and embodied theatre to invite grief and ancestral longing into the body, then transforming those depths into raw, fierce, luminous writing.
We'll honor boundary ruptures and ancestral breaks, tend ancestral grief, and reclaim our erotic, sensual sovereignty — "pussy-power," womb-memory, blood-memory — as sources of creative force and spiritual resilience.
This is a container for consistent daily practice, radical honesty, reclamation of voice, and the re-writing of our stories — individually, collectively, ancestrally.
Embodying Venus isn't about perfect prose or polished poetry — it's about visceral truth, reclamation, emergence, and the fierce, tender reclamation of self, lineage, power and voice.
“This writing practice was first introduced to me by my friend and teacher Heidi Rose Robbins and later affirmed again by Mirabai Starr, and at the time it literally saved me from the swamp of shame I was swirling in. These practices showed me the light at the end of a dark tunnel. And more than that, gave me access to the value in my sensitivity and desire for love and liberation. My wild soul wrote its way home to the body and heart again and again.”
- Adriana Rizzolo
This Journey IS FOR YOU IF:
Your grief feels too big for the page, but you know it needs to move through you
You've been silenced - by trauma, by culture, by your own fear of what might emerge
You want to access the wisdom in your womb, not just the thoughts in your head
You're tired of "nice girl" writing and ready for something raw, real, disruptive
You carry ancestral stories that need witnessing, honoring, repairing
Your sexuality and creativity feel linked but you don't know how to channel that power
You need consistent practice and sacred container to show up for yourself
You're ready to let your body be the archive, the oracle, the authority
You want writing to be ritual, not just productivity
You're done performing. You're ready to erupt.
COME LAUGH AND CRY WITH US
Here's what we're really doing for these 11 days.
The first five days, we laugh. I'll teach you a full-body, five-minute laughing practice on January 1st. Then every day for five days, you laugh before you write.
The next five days, we cry. We sit or lie with whatever's there for five minutes and let our body feel it. Then we write from that place.
This is embodied writing. We're not writing from our heads - we're writing from our bodies. From the laughter that breaks us open. From the grief that's been waiting.
Your daily practice:
Five minutes of laughing or feeling/crying
Reading the day's poem, teaching, and prompt
Five to ten minutes of writing
Fifteen to twenty minutes total. Some days you'll go longer. Some days that's enough.
The four live sessions with guest teachers are bonuses. The real work is this daily practice.
What We'll Explore Together
Over 11 days, we'll move through a transformative arc that honors:
Grief as Gateway - Explore grief not as something to bypass or "fix," but as a portal where deep feeling meets fertile ground. Let grief be the entrance into voice.
Body as Archive - Tap into the body for memory, sensations, ancestral echoes carried in flesh. Access what lives in your bones beyond the mind.
Ancestral Lineage & Reparative Memory - Call in ancestors, inherited stories, lineage wounds and wisdom. Let ancestral reparations inform your own reclamation of power.
Boundary-Breaking & Rupture Repair - Examine where boundaries have been broken. Use writing and ritual to name, witness, reclaim, and re-draw boundaries: emotionally, energetically, sexually, spiritually.
Voice, Rage, Longing & Lament - Give space to the full range of emotions. Let writing hold your lament and rage as sacred material — unashamed, unfiltered, deep.
Creativity as Resistance & Power - Use writing, performance, ritual as acts of defiance. Explore how your creative voice becomes power: political, personal, spiritual.
Erotic / Sensual / Sacred Body & Pussy Power - Honour the body's erotic, sensual, sacred aliveness. Write from and to the body's sexuality. Explore pleasure as power and source of creative force.
Emergence & Re-Authoring Self - Use writing as a tool to re-author who you are, who you've been, who you want to become. Rebuild identity, reclaim lost parts, integrate pain and power.
Ritual, Ceremony & Sacred Activation - Infuse the work with ritual — anointing, theatre, prayer, movement - as sacred activation. Let writing be invocation, release, rebirth.
January 1st: Fire Ceremony + Temple of Wild Lovers Performance (2 hours)
Begin your journey with sacred fire ceremony and embodied performance - a private ritual container for Embodying Venus participants only. Set your intentions, call in your power, witness the mysteries.
