A WOMAN’S DESIRE TO READ AND WRITE POETRY — TO SING HER OWN SONG — ARRIVES WHEN SHE IS DONE PEOPLE-PLEASING, HAS HAD A TASTE OF HER OWN POWER, AND IS READY TO LEAN INTO UNCONDITIONAL LOVE. TO CLAIM HER RIGHT TO BELONG TO HERSELF.
“We don’t read and write poetry because it’s cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race.” (Dead Poet's Society)

an 8-week winter writing immersion.
Have you ever heard a song or read a poem and wished you had written it?
Then you, m’dear, are a writer.
Your desires are holy pointers, guiding you toward your most authentic life path.
A soul writer has a deep desire to articulate her inner world—to bring to the forefront the things often left in the shadows, gathering dust.
A writer desires to see the forgotten things so the world can pause for a moment, stand at attention, and be astonished.
A writer is a healer—inviting the world into deep reverence for what might otherwise be seen as too much to address or so small it’s most often ignored.
I support songwriters, poets, and creative writers of all levels in finding their most authentic voices and telling their stories with courage, confidence, and grace.
Testimonials
Hey, I’m Dana. I'm a folk singer-songwriter, poet and intuitive somatic writing mentor who believes writing is both playful and ceremonial, and in that, deeply medicinal.
I’m a lover of lyrics and storytelling. Mountains, evergreen trees weighed down by powdery snow, the smell of rosemary held up to my nose, my bare feet against the earth, and exploring new places and new parts of my heart with my partner. I love my mom’s laugh, my dad’s stoic tenderness, my ride-or-die siblings, my nephews and niece, and my late golden retriever Nash - my forever soul dog.
I’m a Greek & Irish Chicago gal with a wild heart.
I believe everyone has a story that could break your heart.
