Writing As A Sacred Path gives you the time and supportive space you need to listen to your heart and speak the truths and untold stories of your life.

Writing As A Sacred Path is grounded in writing practice, freeing the wild mind, exploring uncharted territory within and expressing yourself in new, evocative ways.

You will explore dynamic writing techniques for creating new material in many genres. I bring writing prompts, suggestions, humor, readings, and guided visualizations to help quiet the “busy mind” and open the golden doorway into Source. Accessing this place of power, spirit and imagination helps connect heart, hand and pen to your unique voice and the deep essence of writing.

This workshop is strengthened by my twenty-nine years as a poet, successful teacher, author, journalist and writing coach.

Learn to write from your spirit - the immense, singing power within you.

We will use writing practices, breath-work, visualization, and walking meditation to explore the wonder and mystery, the essential truths that call out to us for expression.

In this workshop you will:

• learn to connect with the core of your own wisdom, allowing words to flow from the luminous landscape of your soul
• develop the foundations of good writing - intuition, memory, your authentic voice and the fearlessness it takes to use it
• discover how to use your own language and tell your unique stories
• access the rich, creative source of your heart and tap the power of your inner voice
• experience a safe, supportive setting in which to nurture your creative spirit

Whether you write for pleasure, publication, or personal growth, this workshop is designed for women who want to discover new sources of inspiration and tap into the deep creative well.

In your writing workshop I’ve learned how to write from the heart. I was a journalist, a researcher, always writing from a safe distance, but not from my self. The space you’ve created here, the fellow writers, your own writing and the writing topics have all shed light on this and how I need to keep my heart in my writing!
—Loretta, Ashland

I appreciate the openness, humor and sacredness that you bring to the group. It was a relief to know that whatever was shared in the group was heard and accepted with appreciation, not criticism.
—Sharon, Ashland
