ON THE ROAD TO CALM
Writing is the foundational force that changed my life from one of isolation and silence into a life of well-being and connection. Today I use poetry and other forms of writing as awareness tools in my coaching, as I have personally experienced writing’s life-changing power, its priceless ability to surprise, and its comforting presence.

WHY I WRITE
AT-HOME WRITING RETREATS
At-home writing retreats are for anyone interested in writing and its transformational, life-affirming power.
These self-paced workshops have been designed as a personal, contemplative space that can be adapted to your own schedule. The time spent in a retreat is a drawing back into yourself, and a seclusion away from whatever responsibilities inhabit your life, allowing you the privacy and quiet to find what you’ve forgotten or lost in the daily distractions.
I invite you to explore the available courses below. Questions? Contact me.
Found Words • Found Wisdom
An At-Home Writing Retreat
Overview:
The Found Words • Found Wisdom writing workshop focuses on creating a personal ease around writing, along with a mindfulness of writing’s innate power to bring about insight and personal wisdom. Incorporating personal stories, examples of prose and poetry, and supporting exercises, you are guided through different aspects of writing that provide an accessible and informed structure from which you can then further explore the art and craft of writing.
This workshop is suitable for people just beginning to nurture an inner urge to write, and for writers looking for inspiration to revive a shelved manuscript or writing practice.
The entire workshop takes approximately eight hours to complete and is divided into four sections. Past participants have found that completing each section within 3-7 days of each other keeps the creative flow intact.
Registration/Fee: $59 — Includes a PDF copy of the workshop materials delivered via email.
