I’m a poet, writer, teacher and editor who works with groups and one-to-one. I offer retreats, workshops, and classes that integrate artistic practices with meditative awareness. My programs are designed to open the flow of our natural creativity so that we find its form and expression.

We discover through writing, visual arts and music what we want to express and how to express it. The present experiences of our own bodies and minds lead us to the wellsprings of our creative lives. As our inner voices and visions become more accessible, we find more ease with discovering and choosing forms and styles.

The first word, “Ah,”

blossomed into all others.

Each of them is true.

— Kukai, 9th century Japanese poet
