TESTIMONIALS
“I’m so grateful for my time with Raechel and the community built within our time of Excavations! Keeping the group smaller made it easy to discuss and get to know the people we were spending intentional time with each week. Raechel does a remarkable job at selecting generative writing pieces to discuss and also offered a ton of knowledge around best practices and publishing that go beyond the mainstream. It was also refreshing to be in community with liberation-focused individuals and I never felt like I had to leave parts of me behind. I highly recommend Excavations to anyone interested in writing personal narrative whether you’re just starting or are a published memoirist.” - Ava Robinson
“Excavations is special in so many ways, but one of the most important for me was the opportunity to consistently talk craft with one of my favorite writers period. Raechel makes her experiences and wisdom available for everyone, and their careful discernment over reading material, participants, and groups makes the whole experience feel supportive and nurturing in addition to concretely helpful. This container was a gift.” -Workshop Participant
