The Heart Behind My Workshops
The creative world can feel noisy, filled with pressure to produce, to perfect, to perform. That’s heavy stuff. But what so many of us are actually craving is space: space to listen inward, to ask different questions, to remember why we create in the first place. We need to get back here, more now than ever.
I’m designing workshops that centre the creator because I believe creativity thrives when we make room for reflection, emotional honesty, and play. When we can let down our guard, leave what we think we know at the door, the experience of creating can FEEL different. So many creatives I meet are seeking ways to reconnect with themselves, to find flow without burnout, and to build creative lives that feel aligned rather than forced. And not every idea needs to become a book. ; )
Each season, I’ll be offering low-cost and free workshops across four areas that reflect the fullness of the creative experience:
The Self: Reflective practices to help you explore boundaries, emotions, and identity.
The Creative Project: Generative workshops to nurture your ideas and build confidence in your work.
The Creative Ecosystem: Guidance for shaping a sustainable creative life that fits who you are.
Wellness: Practices that integrate creativity and care to support your whole being.
Past and upcoming workshops include Say No With Love (boundaries through writing, this one will be free), Writing the Object (emotional texture), and playful sessions on writing as unstructured exploration.
There are no formal prerequisites here, just an open mind, a willingness to look inward, and the courage to try something new. If you bring those three things, you’ll walk away with something powerful for your creative toolkit, and perhaps, a deeper understanding of yourself as a creative human.
The Say No With Love Workshop
Protect your energy, prioritize your creativity, live your creative life
The popular Say No With Love Workshop is for creatives who want to set nourishing boundaries, protect their creative energy, and shape a creative life they want to return to—again and again. No two creative lives look the same, and this workshop invites you to look closely at your life, your season, and your needs.
Through reflective writing, discussion, and the 7-step Say No With Love process, we’ll gently surface limiting beliefs (like “I don’t have time to create” or “I can’t give time to things that don’t pay me”) and explore how they shape your day-to-day choices.
You’ll leave with the materials you need to build your own Say No With Love Map—a simple, personalized tool that acts as a filter for decisions, helps you prioritize with clarity, and guides how you want to show up in both your writing life and beyond. The only prerequisites are an open mind and a desire to create more space for creativity.
Build Your Signature Workshop
Craft a workshop that feels like you — aligned, sustainable, and deeply resonant.
Building a workshop can be intense and time-consuming, but once it’s built, you can pitch it, refine it on a regular basis, and deliver it again and again. The key is creating something that truly reflects who you are and how you show up, rather than what you think others want.
In this hands-on session, you’ll explore six core brainstorming questions designed to help you shape your workshop from the inside out. Whether you’re a published writer or simply someone with a story to share, you already use your voice and lived experience to inform what lands on the page, now it’s time to use those same tools to build a powerful, authentic offering, and the perfect addition to your blooming creative ecosystem.
You’ll leave with:
A clearer sense of your unique perspective and teaching style
Insights into what makes a workshop sustainable (for you)
A solid foundation to design, pitch, and deliver your own signature session
The Art of Listening
“Silence: your new writing partner.”
Silence doesn’t have to be awkward! This session is all about slowing down and paying closer attention—to our thoughts, our habits, and our words. We’ll explore the art of listening and how silence, when used intentionally, can transform our writing. Whether you’re working on a poem, a scene, or a memoir, learning to listen deeply (to yourself, to others, and to what’s left unsaid) can help you write with greater clarity and emotional resonance.
You’ll see silence differently, learn how to reflect back what you hear, connect conversation on the page, start slowing down … on purpose.
The Breathe In Workshop
Pause, reflect, and uncover the quiet patterns guiding your creativity
This one-hour session invites you to pause, breathe, and listen differently—to yourself, your work, and the quiet patterns shaping your days.
Inspired by my BREATHE IN Method™, this workshop uses writing as a reflective tool to help you notice what’s surfacing beneath the surface—what’s asking to be seen, understood, or carried forward. Through storytelling, gentle mindfulness practices, and guided reflection, you’ll explore how slowing down can open space for clarity and creative flow.
What to expect:
Writing in the moment (no experience needed)
Gentle mindfulness and breath-based grounding
Light visualization and embodied noticing
Optional group reflection and discussion

“Writing from the Objects We Carry”
Reflective writing lays the foundation for everything that follows. It helps us understand our emotions, clarify our creative intentions, and connect more deeply with the stories we’re meant to tell. In this workshop, we’ll begin with a personal object, something emotionally significant, not for its value, but for the story it holds. This object becomes our entry point into memory, emotion, and self-awareness. Rather than treating creative nonfiction as a fixed genre, we’ll explore it as an action, a way to show up truthfully on the page. Through writing prompts and conversation, we’ll explore fear, memory, and structure, while focusing on building trust, with ourselves and our work. You’ll leave with three new pieces of writing and a deeper connection to your creative voice.
What to expect:
This is an interactive, discussion-based session : )
Bring your object, and notebook to the session!
