Step Two

Curated writing workshops that foster workplace creativity, Shared Ideas, and Connections.

Southern Momentum Creative Writing Workshops is a Southern-rooted literary ecosystem passionate about making writing an essential and accessible part of everyday wellness.

We believe writing belongs in more places than classrooms, Substack, and private journals. Writing belongs anywhere people gather to work, heal, lead, create, remember, reconnect, or make sense of what doesn’t.

Our creative writing workshops fit into any already meaningful programming. The AWA Method is rooted in reflection, creativity, psychological safety, collaboration, and genuine human connection. Our writing workshops are a creative pathway toward deeper trust, clearer communication, and stronger collective intelligence.

To ensure ease of process, we developed The Writing Momentum Workshop Matrix™ to bring low-risk/high return writing programs to places where creative writing workshops are often not utilized as development, team building, or as an essential part of a mentally healthy environment.

There is something sacred about putting pen to paper ✍🏾✨

Here are some moments from our women’s writers workshop experience this weekend 🤍

We’re so grateful to everyone who joined us for Reignite & Reimagine and created such a beautiful space for reflection, release, reclamation, and possibility🕊️

A special thank you to @authorellashawn for guiding us through this powerful experience and reminding us that writing can be a spiritual practice—one that invites us to slow down, listen to our inner knowing, honor what has been, and imagine what could be🙏🏾

To everyone who shared their words, their stories, their silence, their laughter, and their presence: thank you 🤍

What Our Mothers Didn’t Teach Us

Sex, Desire, and the Erotic as Power

An Six-Week Online Autofiction and Somatic Writing Workshop for Women

What did your mother teach you through her silence?

What did you learn from the life she endured, the parts of herself she denied, and the choices she never believed belonged to her?

A mother can love her daughter and still leave her unprepared to become a healthy, happy, whole woman.

What Our Mothers Didn’t Teach Us: Sex, Desire, and the Erotic as Power is an six-week online writing workshop for women ready to confront the inherited lessons that shaped their relationships with their bodies, identities, intimate connections, desires, and personal power.

This is not a workshop about blaming mothers.

It is about telling the truth concerning what women inherit through love, protection, fear, sacrifice, silence, religion, marriage, motherhood, respectability, and survival.

It is also about deciding what ends with you.

Eight Wednesdays by Zoom
November 11-December 16, 2026

1:00–3:00 PM ET
Guided workshop, generative writing rounds, readings, somatic practice, and AWA feedback

Founding Cohort Investment: $295
Regularly $420

    Decolonizing the Language of the Erotic

    Vickey Brown creates a nurturing space where participants feel encouraged to explore and express their authentic voice. The prompts are imaginative and thought-provoking, helping us connect with deeper parts of ourselves.

    Beyond Writing Workshops; Writing Doula Services

    "I love the all woman space! One of my favorite things about the AWA method is how safe and seen I feel when I share my work. Also, Vickey is not just a facilitator, If I need help getting through a difficult piece she whips out her Writing Doula hat and talks me off the ledge and back onto the page."

    What Our mothers never taught us...

    Every workshop is both enriching and stimulating, leaving participants inspired, energised, and eager to return. This is not just a writing workshop; it is a transformational experience. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking to deepen their creativity and reconnect with their inner wisdom

    Esoteric Writers as Artist writing workshop

    "Attending an Esoteric Writers as Artist writing workshop is one part MFA, one part Somatic Recalibration, and one part writing salon. Don't forget to show up as your authentic self!"

    Metaphysical Writing Lab

    It is a privilege to participate in these Creative Writing Labs, which are unlike any workshops I have experienced. By blending music, Kemetic cosmology, metaphysical insights, and history, each session becomes more than a writing exercise, it is a journey of self-discovery and creative awakenin
