Two-hour zoom gatherings where we ‘play’ with our words on the page. We complete a series of free-writing exercises, and everyone is welcome (but not required) to share what they write with the group.
Curated groups that meet on zoom for six sessions. During each two-hour gathering, we complete free-writing exercises, share working material for feedback, and engage in short, interactive craft lessons.
We work together to incubate your stories. You write the book, but our shared intention creates the container for you to bring your book to fruition. My presence provides the support you need to succeed.
Join us May 2nd - May 4th to invest in your story.

We need new narratives to guide us forward.
In contrast to the Hero’s Journey, which requires our protagonist to wage a solo battle against fear, a Heroine collaborates with others to claim the value of her own internal light.
My lifetime of working on the front lines of social change now lives in the way I help writers wield their words on the page.

Tends light in darkness
Nurtures all quiet voices
To bloom hidden song

I've written for The Harvard Business Review, Slate, Fast Company, the Sun Magazine, and more. My book, "Tending" was published by Nationbuilder Books in 2021. I am now at work on my first young adult novel.
Twenty-five years ago, as a Peace Corps Volunteer living alone in a rural village in Malawi, East Africa, I witnessed the impact of a climate-change related drought. Like many other volunteers in my group, I was eventually pulled out of my village and diagnosed with PTSD. Towards the end of my time in Malawi, I sequestered myself in my cement house and wrote, feverishly, in my notebook. I discovered a voice that was uniquely mine, raw and potent.
Committed to creating a better future for us all, I’ve collaborated with change makers all over the globe.
