"The mere act of writing
anything is a help. It seems to
speed one on one's way."
-- Katherine Mansfield
The Writer's Way means writing to connect spirit and soul, body and mind, inner and outer world.
The Writer's Way is a path found through stories, poetry, journals and essays. All that is required is the willingness to listen deeply and give words to what comes, and the curiosity to see what comes next.
The Writer's Way is writing to reclaim voice and words and the power they have to change our lives.
