Instalment Payment: Enrolment for the Women's Voice Medicine Journey

Africa’s development landscape is undergoing a radical shift as global South powers redefine longstanding patterns of influence. At the forefront stands China, a transformative force whose trade and investment in Africa have soared more than tenfold in the past decade. Propelled by its "Going Global" strategy, China’s pursuit of Africa’s rich resources—minerals, oil, and more—has fueled this ascent. 
Yet its role reaches far beyond economics, with growing involvement in peacekeeping, infrastructure, and security—driven by political, economic, and security imperatives—signaling a bold new chapter in Africa’s geopolitical narrative.

Built on decades of historical ties and a shared developing-world identity, this partnership is accelerating at breakneck speed, raising urgent questions: How is China’s rise reshaping African economies, governance, and societies? What strategies are African leaders, businesses, and global players adopting in response?

This course offers a dynamic, multidisciplinary framework to address these and other questions, blending historical context, economic trends, and political analysis to illuminate China’s expanding footprint in Africa.

Course Objectives
Participants will pierce through the "Win-Win" rhetoric of China-Africa relations, critically evaluating its promises, realities, and far-reaching consequences. Through historical insights, economic scrutiny, and political perspectives, the course uncovers the strategies driving China’s foreign policy and their profound impact on Africa’s future.

Course Learning Outcomes

By the end of this 8-week journey, participants will be able to:
Trace the historical arc of China-Africa relations and its pivotal moments.
Dissect the economic and political forces shaping this partnership.
Assess the opportunities and risks China’s presence poses for African progress.
Pinpoint key areas of collaboration, from trade and infrastructure to security.
Judge whether China’s development model holds lessons for African nations.

Who Should Take This Course

This course is crafted for professionals, scholars, and students eager to unravel the nexus of international relations, Chinese foreign policy, and African development. Whether you’re an analyst charting China’s global rise, a policymaker shaping Africa’s path forward, or a geopolitics enthusiast, this course arms you with sharp insights and practical tools to master this evolving landscape.

Note: The course requires a minimum of 10 participants to proceed. To register or express interest, email info@gadaedu.com.

Master plant tinctures are sacred, natural extracts derived from powerful Amazonian plants, each carrying unique healing properties. 

Used traditionally in shamanic practices, these tinctures provide a gentle, yet profound way to heal, release emotional blockages, and restore physical vitality. 

Instructions:
1. Dosage & Absorption
Empty Stomach for Optimal Absorption: Take your tincture on an empty stomach, ideally at least 30 minutes before eating or 2 hours after your last meal. This enhances absorption and allows the plant’s energy to work more directly.
Sublingual Method (Under the Tongue): Place the recommended number of drops directly under your tongue and hold them there for about 1-2 minutes before swallowing. This method allows the plant’s essence to enter your bloodstream more quickly and efficiently.
Swallowing & Following with Water: If needed, you can follow with a sip of water or herbal tea, but avoid strong flavours that might interfere with the plant’s subtle energy.
2. Dietary Considerations
Avoid heavy, overly processed, or highly stimulating foods (e.g., caffeine, sugar, alcohol, or spicy foods) before and after taking the tincture, as they may interfere with the plant’s effects.
Simple, grounding meals such as lightly cooked vegetables, whole grains, and herbal teas, support a clearer connection to the plant.
If fasting or eating lightly while working with the tincture, listen to your body’s signals and adjust as needed.
3. Setting an Intention
Focused Approach: Working with one plant tincture for 1-2 weeks with a clear intention allows for a deeper relationship with the plant’s wisdom. Reflect on what you’re calling in whether it’s emotional healing, clarity, protection, or insight.
Intuitive Use: While structured use can be powerful, you can also work with the tincture as needed, trusting your intuition to guide you. It is safe for daily use if you feel called to it.
Journaling & Reflection: Keeping a small journal can help you track any insights, shifts, or emotions that arise during your work with the plant.
4. Adapting the Experience to You
There’s no rigid rule - some people benefit from structured, intentional work, while others find a more fluid, intuitive approach works best.
Pay attention to how your body, emotions, and energy respond. If you feel resistance or discomfort, pause and reflect on what the plant might be showing you.
Trust your own process and know that the relationship with plant medicine is deeply personal.
By approaching master plant tinctures with respect, presence, and openness, you can allow their wisdom to guide you in a way that best serves your journey. 🌿✨

Delivery
All prices include postage packaging and UK delivery and will be shipped once ready on the 28th of April. The Tinctures will also be available for purchase in person (cash only) at the Breathwork Sessions on Sunday 27th of April. 

Expected delivery date: April 30th-May 6th 2025. 

1. Marosa – Pfaffia Iresinoides
Marosa is a master plant known for awakening deep self-love, beauty, and emotional sensitivity. She works on the heart, softening emotional walls and helping us to reconnect with our vulnerability. Marosa teaches us to embrace love without fear, whether it be romantic, self-love, or universal love, helping us open to deeper relationships while maintaining healthy boundaries.

On an energetic level, she harmonises feminine energy, fostering grace, sensuality, and magnetic presence. She is often used to heal wounds from past relationships, dissolve patterns of unworthiness, and enhance our ability to both give and receive love. Marosa also connects us with our inner beauty, restoring confidence and self-worth. Physically, Marosa has purifying properties, supporting the skin, reproductive system, and circulation. She helps to bring lightness to the body, washing away stagnant energy and emotional burdens that weigh us down.

2. Chiric Sanango Flower - Brunfelsia grandiflora
A powerful Master Plant and member of the nightshade family. The name Chiric means "cold," as this plant is traditionally used to remove cold from the bones, warming the body and relieving tension. It is commonly worked with to treat fevers, alleviate arthritis pain, and enhance circulation, while also being known to increase libido by stimulating vitality and flow. 

On a deeper level, Chiric Sanango penetrates the nervous and muscular systems, aligning the body's core structure and releasing stored tension. It works directly on the brain and neural pathways, facilitating a kind of neural reset that can promote trauma release, mental clarity, emotional resilience, and a renewed sense of balance.

Prior to her time at BLM, she was managing editor for a transcontinental literary consultancy, and later transferred into freelance editorial work where she worked closely with a number of agents and their clients. Recently, she has begun slowly building a small, selective list focused on adult literary fiction.Julie is drawn to uncommon voices and striking, intelligent writing&mdash;whether it be vibrant and floral or tense, quick, and sparse&mdash;as well as texture in both tone and setting, and she loves anything spiky, toothy, and dark. While the literary-speculative is her sweet spot, she considers herself genre agnostic within literary fiction, and remains open to compelling and well-executed genre overlap, such as with historical fiction (including and indeed encouraging alternate history) and gothic fiction (specifically regional gothic), as well as literary science fiction, western, magical realism, horror, dark academia, and low fantasy, all with a basis in the real/human world. Stylistically, she loves uncommon, thought-provoking experimentation with both prose and form.Folkloric and mythological retellings are a special favourite, particularly when approached from a fresh, imaginative perspective; she&rsquo;d also love to see a sharp, literary story exploring humanity&rsquo;s relationship to technology in the vein of&nbsp;Black Mirror. Likewise, a New Weird story exploring the effects of climate change on humanity and society, in the vein of Jeff VanderMeer or China Mi&eacute;ville, would not go remiss; she&rsquo;s also keen to see dark, literary westerns reminiscent of Cormac McCarthy&rsquo;s oeuvre.&nbsp;On rare occasion, a moody psychological suspense story, where a heady sense of atmosphere reigns, is welcome. Also, more terrible women please. (Please do bear in mind that, despite a deep and abiding love for all things Tolkien and Star Wars, she is&nbsp;not&nbsp;the right fit for epic or high fantasy, nor space-faring science fiction. She would also prefer to avoid pulpy crime and romance/romcoms.)She is keenly interested in hearing from authors traditionally underrepresented in the industry, including but not restricted to writers of colour; queer, trans, and nonbinary writers; working class writers; disabled writers; etc. In non-fiction, Julie is keen to read in the narrative and &ldquo;big ideas&rdquo; spaces, particularly in the realms of politics, history, and the social sciences.Julie is not looking for young adult, middle grade, and children&rsquo;s books.Julie would like you to submit a covering letter, 1 page synopsis and the first 5,000 words of your manuscript in a single word document.&nbsp;<p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 16px; color: var(--text); font-family: sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;" fr-original-style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 16px; color: var(--text); font-family: sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;">(In addition to the paid sessions, Julie is kindly offering one free session for low income/under-represented writers.

LOOKING FOR: ADULT FICTION, NON-FICTION

Julie Gourinchas (she/they) is developing a selective list focused on upmarket and literary adult fiction across a wide variety of genres. Writers she represents have been nominated for the British Book Awards, the Hugo Awards, the BSFA Awards, and the Saltire National Book Awards, among others.

In fiction, she's drawn to a uncommon voices, and striking, intelligent writing – whether vibrant and floral or tense, quick, and sparse – as well as texture in both tone and setting (particularly anything with a strong aesthetic). Above all, she is looking for hooky, high-concept work, but her taste can perhaps be best summarised as "the weird, dark, and gruesome." 

While literary-speculative is her sweet spot, she considers herself genre agnostic within upmarket/literary fiction, and remains open to compelling and well-executed genre overlap. These include:

upmarket and literary horror: especially featuring feminist or cultural themes, body horror, mangled nature, or cosmic, Lovecraftian vibes and looking for a fresh, literary take on vampires. Think Mona Awad, Lucy Rose, Julia Armfield, Jade Song, Stephen Graham Jones.
dark and spiky literary dramas with high emotional stakes - think Eliza Clark, Julia May Jonas.
razor-sharp dark academia particularly with something to say about the complex and exploitative systems within academia, more The Secret History, less The Atlas Six.
gothic fiction, specifically regional gothic anchored in an evocative sense of place in the vein of Alexis Henderson and Alix E. Harrow.
grounded fantasy or otherwise speculative fiction with coherent, sharp worldbuilding that feels recognisable and familiar, or directly set in our world. Play with magic, faith, and technology in your story like Babel, or a more literary version like Emily Wilde's Encyclopaedia of Faeries, Blood Over Bright Haven, Metal From Heaven.
Searing contemporary fiction centred on themes of identity and belonging: think Sally Rooney, Torrey Peters, or what Saltburn should have been.
dark westerns, in particular any that play with the truth and false hopes of the American Dream.
magical realism both whimsy with a touch of darkness, and darkness with a touch of whimsy.
unhappy romances
anything -punk:
steampunk, solarpunk, silkpunk, clockpunk, dieselpunk, cyberpunk and more of these! Suffice to say: if you can successfully and smartly comp to Arcane, Julie wants to see it!
character-focused historical fiction with a literary edge: think Lauren Groff, Anthony Doerr, Eleanor Catton, particularly in the 19th and 20th centuries; including and indeed encouraging alternate history.

Stylistically, Julie loves uncommon, thought-provoking experimentation with both prose and form, and anything spiky, toothy, and dark. Happy endings, to her, should feel earned. In all things, compelling character development should come first. First person narration is not impossible, but hard to sell. A smart genre blend is always welcome, as is any fresh-eyed approach to a well-trodden trope. Julie is also very much looking for her first romantasy – especially one that approaches this exciting new genre from a fresh, bold perspective.
 
She is keenly interested in hearing from authors traditionally underrepresented in the industry, including but not restricted to writers of colour; queer, trans, and nonbinary writers; working class writers; disabled writers; etc. 

Her enduring favourite books include All The Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr, Do Not Say We Have Nothing by Madeleine Thien, The Luminaries by Eleanor Catton, and Philip Pullman’s His Dark Materials series. More recent favourites include the masterful Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin, Babel by R.F. Kuang, Detransition Baby by Torrey Peters, Matrix by Lauren Groff, Tell Me I’m Worthless by Alison Rumfitt, Brother Alive by Zain Khalid, and Our Wives Under the Sea by Julia Armfield.

In non-fiction, Julie is keen to read in the narrative and “big ideas” spaces, particularly in the realms of politics, history, and the social sciences.

Please note: Julie is not looking for young adult, middle grade, and children’s books. Strictly no AI-generated content of any description. Please also bear in mind that, despite a deep and abiding love for all things Tolkien and Star Wars, she is not typically the right fit for epic or high fantasy, nor space-faring science fiction. She would also prefer to avoid pulpy crime and straightforward romance/romcoms.

Julie would like you to submit a covering letter, 1 page synopsis and the first 5,000 words of your manuscript in a single word document. 

(In addition to the paid sessions, Julie is kindly offering one free session for low income/under-represented writers. Please email agent121@iaminprint.co.uk to apply, outlining your case for this option which is offered at the discretion of I Am In Print). 

By booking you understand you need to conduct an internet connection test with I Am In Print prior to the event. You also agree to email your material in one document to reach I Am In Print by the stated submission deadline and note that I Am In Print take no responsibility for the advice received during your agent meeting.

The submission deadline is: Tuesday 29th April 2025
