About
My name is sarah megan hunter
Megan studied Creative Writing at the University of British Columbia, Okanagan with a focus on Playwrighting, Creative Non-Fiction and Poetry.
As recipient of UBC-O's Faculty of Creative and Critical Studies Undergraduate Research Award, she created Murmurations - a live, interactive, place-based performance based on the interpretation of the movement of bees, exploring themes of Colonialism & Indigeneity via the lens of Alejandro Jodorovsky's theory of Pyschomagic.- that we can release trauma (including intergenerational trauma) via movement.
her play, 27 Voices was an official selection for the Ruby Slippers Theatre Company's Advance Theatre: New Works by Women, and featured at the Granville Island Fringe Festival.
having studied creative writing, anthropology & ongoing shamanic arts in the Sylix Nation, she now lives near the Salish sea, balancing her time between ceremonial land healing, self healing, writing and her grandgirls.
her latest passion projects are Clan-destine (a play about family, destiny and secrets), which she is honoured to have received a BC ARTS Professional Development Award to develop along with a mentorship with the esteemed Cornelia Hoogland,
and the Blue Lotus Books, a trilogy of micro - eco - poetics, dedicated to bringing messages of hope and inspiration, integrating her shamanic and creative pursuits.
“...it activates a remembering in me, like a deep genetic memory ...it reaches into that empty space I would say is my amnesia for my own embryological beginnings."

Reverence - Raven of the West (27 Voices)
Reverence
Reverence (RAVEN of the West)
We miss the ones who leave us. We just do.
Forever is a very long time
to live apart from those we love. It just is.
Yet, the wounded go on living –
in a different way, in a different place, with a sense
of purpose.
They have become the unknown,
entered its darkened mysterious chamber, opened
the vaulted barrier and crept through
into the blinding light of unknowingness.
This is yes. Take it or leave it.
They can feel our pain, but perceive things differently,
detached somehow. Unplugged from the drama –
with a longing / loving hand. Untouched, to touch
at the root of the problem. Asking,
what would you have me do?
