Gal's Guide well-love writing workshop returns. For it's fifth year, this program will 100% online with live sessions as well as self paced videos. Perfect for a new year, a new you!
This year’s workshop will again focus on healing & creativity through an unapologetically feminine lens. Using the Mother Castle method, students will use writing and meditation to heal emotional wounds for creativity to flourish. This tool, developed by Dr. Leah “Riwo” Leach utilizes women’s history, mythology, Buddhist meditation, and compassion. Previous students found immense value in a process that allowed them to heal the hard stuff so they could write.
In this 12-week workshop, students from around the world, will also learn writing critique tools, receive feedback from their fellow writers, and have an opportunity for publication in the Gal’s Guide Anthology. Previous years this workshop was supported by National Endowment for the Arts (NEA), Noblesville Creates, Indiana Arts Commission, and The Pacers Foundation.
Gal's Guide is flexible because we know lives get busy. You can take the classes live on Wednesdays, watch recordings, or a bit of both. Registered writers will have access to all pre-recorded videos and digital materials for 1 year. The live classes will not be recorded so that conversations about healing can stay private.
LIVE ONLINE OPTION: Classes will be Wednesday evenings 7:00 pm – 8:30 pm Central, January 7 – March 25. Leah will lead the classes live online with group discussion, writing feedback, and questions answered. This version is highly recommended to foster your own unique writing community.
SELF LED VIDEO OPTION: Take the class at your own pace. Watch and pause videos as you need. From January – March you’ll still have access to writer feedback from Leah and your classmates.
*NEW* ONE-ON-ONE TIME: Schedule time with Leah for help with your writing and/or creativity.
WRITING COMMUNITY: Registered writers get access to a private Discord channel within the Gal’s Guide server to build community, ask questions, share stories, ask for feedback, and more.

In this panel, two neurodivergent authors published by Cow Tipping Press will join the organization’s founder to discuss storytelling and the arts as an avenue for advocacy and narrative-shifting representation. Panelists will delve into both the details of their process and the larger cultural shifts that come from the meaningful inclusion and collaboration with people with intellectual/developmental disabilities in books, classrooms, arts spaces, workplaces, and beyond.
Panelist: Ethan Bussiere
Bio: Ethan Bussiere loves to write fantasy short stories. He also likes to write poems and lyrics. He feels his writing comes from his vast imagination. He can’t keep his mind quiet, so why not write it?
Panelist: Davida Kilgore
Bio: Davida Kilgore has been writing since she was 6 years old. She’s been publishing for the past 37 years. Writing is who she is as well as what she does. Writing has saved her life.
Moderator: Bryan Boyce
Bio: Bryan Boyce is the Founder and Executive Director of Cow Tipping Press. He grew up in Waseca, Minnesota and graduated from Grinnell College before teaching high school English in Lesotho and the Rosebud Lakota Reservation and serving as Assistant Director of Breakthrough San Juan Capistrano, which he led to nationally recognized student gains. As the sibling of a brother with developmental disabilities, Bryan knows firsthand the value and richness of exchange across neurological difference. He seeks to give others this opportunity—an alternative to presuming deficit and pity—through the often inventive, radically self-representative writing of Cow Tipping authors.
