— A guided, intuitive writing process to get to the heart of your work —

TLDR: Through guided, intuitive writing, we’ll generate a powerful manifesto that speaks to the heart of your work. You can use your North Star as a vibrant internal compass, let it inform (or become) your mission statement, or showcase it on your website or social media. Shift out of overthinking and into embodied knowing — with a tangible, potent piece of writing you can use and share.

Join in person: For a nourishing half-day retreat. Sunday, January 26th from 2-4pm in NE Portland, OR. ($300-$400) (Sliding scale & payment options available)

Or virtually: For a generative online workshop. Wednesday, January 29th from 10:30am-12:30pm. ($80-$120) (Sliding scale & payment options available)

When you find yourself at a crossroads, are feeling unmoored, or are struggling to land on the “right words” to describe the crux of your offerings, turn to your North Star for a clarifying and compelling reminder of your direction and creative source. 

Words can often help us find (and remember) our way…

Join me for my signature North Star writing process in which we will generate manifestos that speak to the heart of our work. Your North Star Statement can serve as a vibrant internal compass, a galvanizing manifesto; it can inform (or become) your mission statement, or be showcased on your website or social media.

This process is simple yet profoundly impactful, and it has catalyzed so much clarity, inspiration, and creative use for my clients over the years. 

What participants are saying:

✦
I had the most amazing time with the writing prompts! This process was seriously life-changing.

✦
This was incredibly impactful for me. It was illuminating!!! I can’t stop talking with friends about how significant this experience has been for me.

This was a total WOW for me.

✦
This was such an insightful and playful way to get to the heart of what matters and to have it spelled out so clearly in my own words!

✦
This was what I didn't know I needed. So wonderful, thank you.

✦
These words now sit front and center on my website, creating so much clarity in how I share my work!

There are two upcoming ways to participate in the North Star process.

IN PERSON :: A deeply nourishing half-day retreat.

Circle up for a spacious afternoon of ritual and reflection as we put words to the heart of your work. We’ll gather with our journals and steaming mugs of tea, deepen into guided creative writing, and see what wisdom wants to emerge.

We’ll share in a potent writing process, heartening conversation with like-hearted huemxns, and opportunities for quiet contemplation, joyous dance breaks, and gentle rituals of letting go and welcoming in. We’ll honor the liminal, wintering season with space for cat naps, nourishing snacks and abundant tea, and likely the cozy magic of an outdoor fire!

My hope is that we each leave feeling restored, connected, and uplifted — and with a tangible creative compass you can turn to again and again in the coming months.  

Spots are limited so we can keep our circle cozy.

A recording will be sent out after our workshop along with the prompts we explore.
