When everyone was locked down during the pandemic, I read a book by the poet Natalie Goldberg that came to transform my life. Writing Down the Bones introduced me to a whole new way of journaling. Tap into the voice of the soul, bypass the inner critic, and write from your heart space. This practice is what's allowed me to be my bravest, truest self on the page.

Leading group writing practice sessions over Zoom has become so very special to me. We gather, meditate and write together before sharing our pages in a safe, judgment-free space. We give light to what wants to come through us.
