My Story
Welcome! I’m a poet, writer, and writing mentor living on the traditional lands of the Snuneymuxw First Nation in Nanaimo on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada.
Be seen. Be heard. Be amazed at what comes out of the stillness. Those are invitations I came up with when I first began offering women’s writing circles in Toronto in 1997. Those words still apply to the writing circles I continue to offer.
A writing circle, whether in person or on Zoom, offers a calm, nurturing, and inspiring space where you can receive encouragement and support from fellow participants on the writing path.
In the Writing Life circle and other writing circles I lead, we apply the ancient wisdom of the circle to a modern application: a sacred ceremony of writing, sharing and listening where each person is respected for their presence and contributions.
No previous writing experience is necessary to embrace the fullness of your stories from life.
I introduce circle participants to a flower essence that accompanies our particular theme. A flower essence of Nature’s sacred energies invites inner exploration, creative expansion and supports the cycles of one’s life. I use Raven Essences as well as Spirit of the Island Flower Essences which I created in my garden in Nanaimo.
Do get in touch with any questions you may have and to let me know of your interest in attending any of the writing circles. I look forward to meeting you!

The Writing Circle helped me immensely as I was able to
get feedback on my writing in a safe and supportive way.
