It’s been a while since I’ve been in touch and like many of you, I seemed to have misplaced time somewhere that I can’t find! In spite of “no time” in November of 2020, I published my second writing workbook, Writes of Passage: Writing Through the Seasons of Your Life. I’ve been slow to embrace Zoom as a way to teach my writing classes; however, Zoom is what we currently have to communicate with one another and has helped us to stay connected. So, I’m going to teach my Writes of Passage class series using Zoom for any of you who may be interested.

I’ve been teaching material from the Writes of Passage: Writing Through the Seasons of Your Life writing workbook for over a decade and have witnessed the amazing results that writers have experienced with the writing exercises & other material, transforming themselves by writing their way through the developmental stages of their lives, courageously peering into the depths of their psyches and reflecting on personal significant life events to get at a deeper truth of themselves and their life.
WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT
We have all gone through the various stages of death and dying as the year 2020 wore our nerves and psyches to a frazzle. Now, in 2021, we’ve got a real opportunity to breathe our new ideas into life once again. There has never been a better time to make a commitment to writing your own story & adding your voice with those of other writers in recognition that every voice matters in the great re-awakening of our collective soul. Your Voice Matters!
Have you ever imagined yourself as the heroine or hero of your own life story? In the Writes of Passage class, you will re-write your personal life story as a three-part myth with yourself as the heroine! Have you considered that your greatest challenges & conflicts have actually assisted you in becoming a more authentic, stronger & bolder person? You’ll find writing exercises to help you identify people in your life who have been Petty Tyrants or Crazy-makers and consider how they’ve served you & to write a letter of forgiveness or gratitude to them. Have you ever felt lost or forgotten your life’s purpose? There are writing and art-making exercises to help you re-connect to your life’s purpose by identifying the soul of your work and the work of your soul, using archetypes and the “acorn theory” of life. Ever felt that your creative juices have dried up & so has your passion? You will be guided through stories, writing exercises and visualizations to realize & re-ignite your passion by creating an act of power and sharing it out into the world.
In the Writes of Passage: Writing Your Life Story classes you will be cheered on & supported by other writers in the group who are also working their way through significant and sometimes painful, life events. There is a natural bond that develops as class participants share writing that describes personal & intimate events. This bond of trust and support unites everyone together in a sort of Magical Alchemy born out of a deeply shared journey. It is that intangible magical something that makes one compare it to the processes of alchemy or to the nectar of the gods. It is the very nectar of creativity that informs our writing & in the process, transforms us as well.
