In Sudden Seances, Michelle Awad examines the ways we try to speak with what is gone—lost people, fractured relationships, past versions of ourselves. Blending ritual, memory, and myth, the collection asks what happens when we dig up the past and whether communion with it can ever truly set us free.

Registration is still open for our April session of The Almanac!
Following the Fool: In this session, we’ll explore what it means to be the fool in our own story—and practice seeing it as a kind of blessing. We’ll take stock of the ways we’ve been naive, brave, ridiculous, and hopeful, and follow the Fool’s journey to uncover where those moments might hold real creative power.
