Blessings of Summer Abundance

Dear friends, I must be honest: I did not know if I would be creating public offerings again this year. In this extended season of change and unknowns, I have been guided to lean away from external noise, to find respite from listening within. As always, nature has provided great support for this internal retreat, guiding me with calm, loving presence.

And of course she has been working her magic on me! In her spring attire, she has been tickling my senses with her bounty of fresh scents and blooms, her breezes awakening my aliveness. Her energy is innocent and pure, and I am capitulating to her advances, exploring the natural world in new ways. Allowing myself to wander without knowing exactly where I’m going, I find delight in the beauty and surprises these wandering are bringing me.

Thus in my wanderings and deep listening, I have heard the call to:

1. …help others connect with their own higher guidance to skillfully navigate these challenging times.

2. …focus on what I love (leading writing-in-nature groups!) and let go of what I don’t (marketing & event pricing).

As such, I have a new way of being in my writing-in-nature experiences, as well as how I share them with you.

This events are opportunities to write and deeply commune with beautiful and often hidden places on the Olympic Peninsula in Washington. Some will involve a short or moderate hike, others will be an easy walk.

The exact locations will be disclosed at the start of each month ONLY to those who subscribe to one of the following monthly plans:

In the past 6 months, I’ve been helping a small group of writers3 establish their voice and “brand”, assisting with writing direction, creating support with group writing activities and ongoing exercises to deepen their craft. These are writers both seasoned and fresh, as well as poets and visual artists, all with different perspectives and messages, all feeling called to share their vision with the world at this time. It has been a true joy to be in service in this way, and this season I am making this offering available to a wider circle.
