I would have laughed if you had told me ten years ago that I would be teaching a writing workshop alongside some of my writing heroes like Anne Lamott. Ten years ago, I was fresh out of graduate school, recently married, and working through an existential crisis that kept me emotionally spinning out on the daily. I was writing daily, constantly crafting a new version of a memoir, which finally turned out to be the book getting published this June, Brave The Page: How Writing Our Hard Stories Brings Healing and Wholeness. I was teaching the body as a storyteller through trauma-informed yoga classes and meditations, but I had not arrived at where I wanted to be (and had no idea who or what that was.) Fast-forward to April 2025, and that book I had been writing and rewriting is finally being released. I am in the same sacred space as the lovely Anne, called A Writing Room.
This virtual retreat is a week-long creative accelerator to help you break through resistance, strengthen your voice, and ignite your writing passion. I am teaching a class on trauma-informed writing, where we’ll create a trauma-informed practice for navigating emotional triggers, regulating your nervous system, and setting up personal safety stops to avoid creative burnout. I’ll also lead a live critique circle where writers are offered a supportive environment to share their work, exchange feedback, and gain insights from an established professional writer, with the chance to review their writing in real time.
I am so jazzed and excited to invite you to your next big writing adventure! Join me at A Writing Room's Digital Retreat — an inspiring week designed for busy writers who crave clarity and connection. Whether you're starting a new project or finishing a draft, this retreat offers the space, structure, and support to move your writing from idea to publication. $499 gets you access to the entire 7-day retreat, featuring teachers like Anne Lamott and Maggie Smith and myself, plus a full year of membership (which includes so many more special guest teachers, live edits, open-mics, writing resources, community, etc, plus I’m a creative mentor with this hub now, so will be popping in to guide classes every now and again. Hope to see you there!
