The Flesh and the Fruit: Remembering Eve and the Power of Creative Transgression by Vanya Leilani, PhD, incorporates myth and memoir to reveal the power of creative transgression through the story of Eve.

Join us on February 1 to discuss The Flesh and the Fruit!
Myth Lit webinars create space for the myth community to read together, write together, and celebrate today’s mythological literature.
“The way of creative transgression requires courage. It is not easy to step beyond something that has named us, held us, and even fed us. When our eyes are opened to the curses in our lives, we need the courage to see, to tell the truth, to grieve, and when it is time, to transgress and reach.”
– Vanya Leilani, The Flesh and the Fruit
