How it works:

Over 8 weeks, you won't just write more. You'll:

• come back into your body as the source of every poem

• access longing, desire, and devotion without apologizing for any of it

• write the kind of somatic poetry that comes from tissue and marrow, not your overthinking mind

• fall back in love with the parts of yourself you've been keeping at arm's length

• build a devoted creative practice that doesn't depend on inspiration showing up first

• be witnessed inside an intimate, golden-hour community of women doing the same

• leave with a body of work — material that could become a book, a project, a body of poems that are unmistakably yours

I'm building a world for you to step into —

— cinematic, sun-drenched, a little melancholic in the way only late summer can be. The long-lost lover. The ache that feels like an aphrodisiac set against crashing waves and melting ice cream cones. The permission to want, loudly, on the page.

I’ll guide you…through stories, themes and writing prompts that open doors you didn’t know were there.

You’ll find that writing stops being something you keep “trying to get to” and starts becoming something your body actually craves.

I can’t wait to see who you become when you give yourself this kind of space.

“I'm glad I'm here with like-hearted women who know IFS, who know mom grief, who are willing to share their hearts and souls in a space of collective femininity. That's poetic. That is poetry. Anything meaningful is poetic. Poetry is here in this room, connecting everyone and their lost loved ones. Our ancestors join hands and smile as we look for similies. It matters.”
— part of a poem written during a salon by Becky Lang

“Dana is amazing! She created a safe place. She encouraged us to be open and honest. The workshop was very inspirational and motivational. It gave me the confidence to continue writing and explore my creativity!”
