Grokkist Press Reading Room

A Grokkist sequence free, in nine pieces

Unforgetting

Becoming legible to yourself. Nine short pieces, each one idea and one thing to try.

Begin with The ugly question

Some parts of you haven't had much attention for a while. Finding them again is less like learning something new and more like unforgetting.

The Greek word for truth, aletheia, means something like this: coming back up out of Lethe, the river of forgetting.

Each piece is one idea and one thing to try on your own. Read it, listen to it, or do the try-this in the page. Nothing you write leaves your browser.

Go in order, or start wherever you're curious. If you're preparing a Red Thread Talk, keep what you write. Together the try-thises are your kit.

Which letters
What's the difference?

The Grokkist letter is Danu's monthly letter about the whole Grokkist community: what people are making and thinking about, gatherings coming up, and a handful of Snackables, small good things worth your time.

The Press sends you new writing from this site as it's published (essays, talks, stories, books in instalments), plus a monthly letter from the editor. You can narrow it to the Realms you care about.

Choose either or both. Each email has a one-click way out.

What are the Realms?

Every piece in the Press lives in one or two Realms: regions of the Grokkist world, each asking for a different kind of attention. Pick the ones that draw you, and you'll only hear about pieces from those.

  • Unfolding Realm: identity and becoming
  • Entangled Vale: shared inquiry and making sense together
  • Maker's Forge: creative expression
  • Soma Isles: the body and embodied practice
  • Wild Margin: changemaking and possibility
  • Hearthlands: community and connection
