Story
“We should write because it is human nature to write. We should write because writing brings clarity and passion to the act of living. We should write because writing is good for the soul. We should write because writing yields us a body of work, a felt path through the world we live in. We should write, above all, because we are writers, whether we call ourselves that or not.” -Julia Cameron
Sunday Writing SalonS
A space to slow down, soften, and return to yourself.
An intimate gathering designed to quiet the inner critic- allowing intuition and imagination to emerge naturally, free from pressure to perform or produce.
Writing becomes a bridge between inner and outer worlds, between thought and feeling, between self and community.
Sharing is an invitation, never an expectation. In being witnessed without judgment, confidence grows — not through critique, but through validation — deepening our connection within ourselves and with one another.
This is not a workshop.
It is a remembering — the powerful art of the written word and the enduring medicine of storytelling.
Come as you are.
Leave feeling more connected — to your voice, your presence, and the quiet wisdom we carry together.
SundayS in March 5pm
@ Ortega SpacE
Long before books or screens, humans gathered around the fire, sharing stories as medicine and wisdom. Storytelling has always been a bridge — between experience and meaning, between one person and another, connecting time and space.
It helps us remember who we are.
It gives shape to what we’ve lived.
It reminds us that we are not alone.
When we write together — authentic, unforced, and free from performance or agenda, it becomes a way of remembering that our stories matter. That our voices carry wisdom. That there is power in being seen and heard.
This is the space I hold. Not to teach you how to write —but to help you remember who you are.
Online Writing
Every other Friday 1PST
We meet a few days before each New or Full Moon to harness the cosmic essence of the macro reflected in our micro. The writing prompts reflect themes unfolding in the sky—and in our own lives.
We begin with breath and stillness to soften the inner critic and settle the nervous system. From this embodied presence, creativity emerges naturally—masks fall away and truth rises. There is no need to please or perform; every piece is invited in, whether fiction or memory, allowing full expressive freedom.
Connect to your power of the written word, to our shared humanity, and wisdom within phases of life and the moon.
Writing has always been more than words to me.
It has been a way of listening, telling the truth and returning to myself.
As a child, I wrote in a Hello Kitty diary — not because anyone told me to, but because I wanted to. It was where honesty was tucked away behind a tiny lock and key.
For decades, I kept journals, some I saved, some I burned. Even in the depths of addiction, I wrote— without knowing why. I was disconnected from my ‘why’, my feelings, my body and writing became a doorway back to myself.
Through words, I began to connect the dots, reclaim authorship over my own life and reshape experiences into art.
For a long time, my writing remained private — until I was invited on a retreat, we surfed, practiced yoga, explored the jungle, and we wrote. None of us were “writers.” And yet, what emerged was incredible.
Guided by simple prompts into the soft scratch of pen on paper — something magical emerged. The inner critic loosened its grip and stories surfaced. We shared laughter, tears and that spark of recognition from being truly seen and heard, just as we are. We reconnected with intuition, creativity, truth and shared presence.
That experience led me deeper into the world of writing. I attended several immersive retreats and studied the Gateless Method — a powerful blend of brain science and ancient Zen. In 2015 I completed the Gateless Teaching Certification and began facilitating writing in treatment centers, retreats, and private circles. I also wrote three manuscripts in a series titled A Few Lifetimes Away — a body of work that nourishes by own creative calling.
Writing reminds me, again and again…When we feel safe, words come. When the body settles, truth emerges. When judgment falls away, something sacred appears.
Writing becomes a way home. A remembering of who we’ve been and permission to become ourselves again and again.
