The White Yurt: Where Women Gather is a work of mythopoetic nonfiction - a contemplative, Siberian lineage-rooted book written for women who sense that some forms of knowing cannot be taught, only remembered.
Structured as a series of Gatherings and Interludes, the book creates a quiet, wintered space where women arrive not to be instructed or changed, but to settle into presence. Drawing on ancestral ritual, embodied observation, and lived experience, The White Yurt explores themes of containment, sovereignty, silence, grief, nourishment, departure, and return.
A brief passage from the book:
The White Yurt did not rise against the snow or mark itself against the land.
It blended - winter-colored, ground-held, easily mistaken for nothing at all.
Travelers passed nearby without noticing anything.
Those who did not belong never found it.
In the North, women did not announce their gatherings.
They disappeared into them.
This is not a plot-driven story, and it is not a self-help manual.
It is an experiential text meant to be read slowly, allowing meaning to arise through sensation rather than explanation.
The White Yurt does not promise transformation.
It offers a place to rest - and to remember what remains when nothing is required of you.
