A WOMAN’S DESIRE TO READ AND WRITE POETRY — TO SING HER OWN SONG — ARRIVES WHEN SHE IS DONE PEOPLE-PLEASING, HAS HAD A TASTE OF HER OWN POWER, AND IS READY TO LEAN INTO UNCONDITIONAL LOVE. TO CLAIM HER RIGHT TO BELONG TO HERSELF.
“We don’t read and write poetry because it’s cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race.” (Dead Poet's Society)

the portal
a 5-week autumn writing immersion into the dark, the wild + the unknown.
learn how to surrender to and write from your body. Fall in love with the wisdom, beauty and mystery that emerges from your inner world as you are safely guided to release control and enter into the state of allowing.
This immersion combines meditation, conscious creation, and of course - somatic writing.
It’s for songwriters, poets and those who feel a deep soul-calling to press pen to paper.
Have you ever heard a song or read a poem and wished you had written it?
Then you, m’dear, are a writer.
Your desires are holy pointers, guiding you toward your most authentic life path.
A soul writer has a deep desire to articulate her inner world—to bring to the forefront the things often left in the shadows, gathering dust.
A writer desires to see the forgotten things so the world can pause for a moment, stand at attention, and be astonished.
A writer is a healer—inviting the world into deep reverence for what might otherwise be seen as too much to address or so small it’s most often ignored.
I support songwriters, poets, and creative writers of all levels in finding their most authentic voices and telling their stories with courage, confidence, and grace.
