There are breaking points in all our lives when we realise that the way things have been done before just don't work for us anymore, be it the way we approach our relationships, our belief systems, our work, our education, even our rest. For Rachel, reimagining - the act of creating in our minds that which does not exist but that we believe can and should - has been a lifelong process. Reimagining served as the most powerful catalyst for Rachel's personal transformation from a small-town Christian wife to an incisive queer feminist voice of a generation.

In A Renaissance of Our Own, we witness the sometimes painful but always inspiring breaking points in Rachel's life that fostered a truer identity. These defining moments offer a blueprint for how we must all use our imagination - the space that sees beyond limits - to live in alignment with our highest values and to craft a world independent of oppressive structures, both personal and societal.

For this transformative virtual event, Rachel will invite you to acknowledge ways of being that stem from societal expectations instead of your personal truth, and to embark on a renaissance of your own. Don’t miss out on the opportunity to be reminded of the power and possibility of reimagining a life that feels right, all the way down to the marrow of your bones.

“Dazzling—a loving, bold tale of imagination, bravery, and radical action in the face of injustice…Through an account of Cargle’s own complicated life journey, she provides a framework for our own acts of courage as brutality threatens to strip us of humanity.” Elle

“Magical. Shape-shifting. Cargle recounts how she spun silk out of the threadbare yarns of patriarchy and white supremacy while reminding readers that such alchemy is possible for them, too. Such wonder is inevitable if we give ourselves permission to reimagine our existence and re-create ourselves in our own divine image.” Sonya Renee Taylor, author of The Body Is Not an Apology
