““With joy and ease, I turn to Mary Ann Moore’s Writing Home: A Whole Life Practice. Each chapter’s guidelines, stories, reflections and easy to incorporate practices evoke my curiosity and deepen my creative explorations. I write with more courage, relate to what I’ve written with a kinder and gentler presence, and access inner and collective wisdom with greater clarity.” – Kate Burns, Nanaimo, BC

The Book
Writing Home: A Whole Life Practice is my life’s work. Not that I haven’t written other books and continue to do so . . . this one is who I am and what I encourage others to do: embrace writing as a whole life practice. Happily, many people are enjoying reading and working their way through Writing Home which means I’m now out of copies! There will be another print run and copies will be available directly from me, if you live in Nanaimo, B.C., at creativity@maryannmoore.ca.

“If you are seeking support to express your own voice, create more flow in your life, and get in touch with your authentic self, whether you are a writer, artist or creative dreamer, Mary Ann Moore’s Writing Home mentoring program is a gentle but persuasive invitation to awakening. It is no coincidence that in the year that I have undertaken the Writing Home journey with Mary Ann, I am finally connecting with my true voice in painting, after many years of false starts, doubts and uncertainties. Mary Ann’s Writing Home contains a gentle and lyrical wisdom that invites you to begin down the path to living a life of greater authenticity.” – Becky Tilly, Artist and Poet
“I moved to Canada from The Netherlands and needed to find home again (or I wondered what I brought with me). As I wrote, following Writing Home, I found I brought myself. I like the suggestions for rituals. I now have a special place to write. Writing Home got me writing home! I love the book, the pictures. It is a little treasure.” – Titia Jensen
