Midlife Goo - with JLM Morton

‘When a caterpillar is ready for the next stage of its life, it finds a quiet and safe place and spins itself into a cocoon or chrysalis. Then, the caterpillar releases digestive enzymes and dissolves itself. It disintegrates into a goo.’ Lucy Jones Matrescence (2023). Midlife is ‘goo,’ a time of profound and irreversible change. In this workshop, we’ll explore this state through writing exercises and the making of ritual objects.  We will take a deep dive into the beautiful creative mess of our imaginal midlife and emerge transformed, with the drafts of new poems and writings to take away.
