writing alchemy

7-Day Mini-course

A self-paced journey for liberating your inner oracle and accessing your intrinsic power for self-transformation.

“the times when I felt I had no one to talk to or couldn’t share my very real, sometimes confronting thoughts to anyone,
the page was there.
holding an open, blank, neutral space.
and here, I could take up as much space as I needed.
the page would never judge, talk back, or grow impatient with me.
simply there to receive me - all of me.”

are you ready to liberate your inner oracle, muse, and self-healer?

I'll never forget when I went to a local psychic’s shop in the town I grew up in back in 2014. He told me to write. That I had great creative potential and wasn’t taking advantage of it.

Later that year, my brother gifted me my first adult journal (I was keeping diaries since I learned to write - you remember to those ones with the little locks and pretend keys? but I stopped somewhere along the adolescent journey). One average day, I began writing. Whatever struck me - reflections people gave me, ideas and intentions, and eventually, began connecting with the deepest parts of myself I had never before been aquatinted with.

A slow and gradual start, it took me a solid 5 years to fill that first journal. I truly had no idea how big of a role journaling and self-reflection would one day play in my life. Once the second journal came around, writing became a more consistent ritual, a meditative & ceremonious space for me to commune with all parts of myself (inner child, my muse, my higher self, various wounded parts, my inner oracle & inner wise one), my human experience, my emotions, and my unfiltered thoughts. With full abandon, it became the most precious and successful cathartic practice for me to empty myself out.

I found that I could self-soothe and self-regulate in times of stress or pain...

that I could tap into this infinitely flowing channel of inner wisdom, solution, clarity & guidance...

that I could quite literally arrive to the page feeling one way and leave it feeling completely transformed...

that I held the power to create alchemy - transmuting certain emotions & energetic states and producing something entirely different. Honoring the truth of my experience while simultaneously holding the power to transform it into a more beneficial result.
 

I came to discover its alchemy.

How my connection to the pen and the page were the tools to accessing the most powerful part of myself as an infinitely creative, resourceful and omniscient being. I realized that fostering a loyal relationship with reflecting on my life, journaling whatever felt most alive & integrating the continually unfolding potency of my ever-expanding consciousness was absolutely imperative to my mental health, emotional stability, and overall state of clarity, centeredness, and wellbeing.

the writing experience

Over the course of this journey, you will be guided through 7 different writing rituals, all weaving in various combinations of writing styles, while tapping you into a multitude of channels for expression through self-inquiry.

Each day’s content coincides with a theme upon which the guided meditation, contemplation, and writing ritual will focus.

  • Emptying ourselves out onto the page, we allow the energy, the thoughts, and the stream to flow as naturally and authentically as possible. Through this process, we become the custodians of our inner temples of mind, heart, and experience, cleaning the slate and beginning our day with a sense of freshness, presence, and clarity.

  • A surefire way to connect with your most authentic self. We have infinite opportunity to know who we are - to discover (and rediscover) ourselves as we navigate through the swirls and seasons of our lives, learning from experience and extracting the gems.

  • Helps us to cope with intense emotions and can provide relief in moments of stress. one of the ways to deal with any overwhelming emotion is to find a healthy outlet to express yourself. We bring the charge to the page, unload the chaos, and access our agency for self-regulation.

  • Taps us into our channel of omniscience. Our inner oracle knows all & has all the answers we seek, and here we can receive profound wisdom from our past, present, future, higher self and beyond.

  • The language of our souls - we invite the muse to express through us, turning aches into art, passion into poetry. Some of the most profound and relatable art comes from the moment we use our creativity as medicine for our lived experience.

  • Supports our mental health, shifts our frequency, and completely transforms our perception of reality. Moves us from dissatisfaction to appreciation.

For years I have shown up for my self-reflection writing and contemplation practice as devotedly as brushing my teeth. For it has been my life line, my life vest when life has tried to pull me under.

It is my outlet to express everything - the shameless and raw and gritty and real. The full holy spectrum it beckons the truest of me, this psyche and this soul. Writing has singlehandedly been the most valuable and fruitful self-connection & self-care practice of mine - keeping me true, grounded, mindful, and oriented towards growth & what matters. Writing has supported me through all of my deep life experiences - from the trenches to the summits. The lows to the heights. The trials to the triumphs. It has unfailingly guided my ability to transform my reality, my relationship to what unfolds in that reality, and reclaim my faculty for peace. My willingness to pick up the pen and write - for the simple sake of self-love, has allowed me to be the alchemist of my life.
 

Beloved, there is great power in knowing who you are. In being connected to this agent for omniscience inside of you. In order to maintain an authentic driver seat of your life, you have to be connected to your contemplation. To your wonder, your curiosity, and most importantly - your frankness with yourself. For the more we know ourselves, all parts of us and our authentic essence, the more sober ability we have to show up in life intentionally and receive all the bounty & blessing this life has to offer.

There truly are infinite dividends of prescribing yourself the pen to paper, countless benefits of gifting yourself the time and space to drop-in with yourself and the unconditionally welcoming, loving and accepting blank page.

“I can’t express how profound and therapeutic this course has been for me in tapping into my deepest self. Before this course, I was constantly running around with a never-ending loop of thoughts. The “brain-dump” exercise really helped me to clear my head and feel some relief from too much thinking. I was able to tap into my inner muse, where all restrictions and roadblocks were removed and there was just a free-flow of words that just kept coming. It was like unclogging a clogged pipe, releasing accumulated mental debris, like a detox of the mind.”
