in The Writer’s Oasis, I offer a slow & gentle process that supports you to develop a daily writing practice rooted in your own values, rhythm, & the story that you are writing. I offer a practice that marries the yin & yang of writing: soul & craft; being & doing; body/heart & mind.
The Writer’s Oasis is the place within each of us, where our writing lives. through learning how to rest into this place, and write from here, our writing practice becomes a source of nourishment that can feed all areas and aspects of our lives.
in this 30-day online writing course, you'll receive creative prompts, exercises, and meditations to connect with your Writer's Oasis. you will learn how to write from there, in harmony with your logical/technical/critical mind. you will also work with and through your body, in simple & gentle ways.
this course is for people writing in any format or genre: journalists, poets, playwrights, screenwriters, authors, non-fiction writers, memoirists, bloggers, researchers, academic writers, those writing Masters of Phd theses, or anyone exploring writing for the first time
the underlying intention of this course is "slow, gentle consistency".

The Writer's Oasis is designed as an intentional 30-day journey to support you to connect deeply with your Writer's Oasis and your writing project. each day builds on the work done before. another fundamental part of the course is making this journey together in community. while we write and create individually, we are doing so in community with other writers.
because of this, it is important to ensure that you can make all (or most) of the live class dates. it is also important to create space in your life for the month, to truly show up for, and commit, to your writing practice.
