Rebel Wisdom
Creative Writing and Rituals for Women at Midlife
“At last! A book that invites us on a journey to, through, and beyond midlife — that treats this time in our lives not as a problem to be solved but as an odyssey to be celebrated. Join the authors on a beautiful ride, with writing as a guide, into your deepest, wisest, wildest self. I don't say this lightly: this is one of those rare books that can transform a life”
- Demetria Martinez, Poetry in Dangerous Times: Two Women, Two Worlds
Creative writing for women at midlife
Rebel Wisdom is a creative writing book for women at midlife, created for a time of life rich with change, reflection, imagination, and possibility. Through writing prompts and simple rituals, Aimée Knight and Tenaya Darlington invite women to explore where they have been, what they are carrying, and what they want to create next.
Writing prompts and rituals
Rebel Wisdom is organized into twelve chapters, each connected to a full moon and a different invitation for reflection and creative practice. Through writing exercises and rituals, the book creates space to consider change, possibility, pleasure, direction, and the life you want to shape next.
