Writing as a Spiritual Practice
Why writing?
Our creative lives help us to see the world in new ways, discover deeper aspects of our potential and ignite our imaginations.
Many of us learned to write as a craft–whether in high school English class or even in our professional lives. Sometimes in that process, creativity was shut down.
Feed Your Spirit Writing is different! This practice is about expression and emotionally-connected writing. Come wherever you are and with whatever you’re holding–I’ll share creative exercises that make space to release emotions and inspire your spiritual curiosity.
‘I am learning so much and feel inspired by you and the community you have created.’
–Julie S, workshop participant
Open to everyone
You may already be a writer wanting to connect your spiritual life to what you put on the page.
Or you may be a spiritual seeker who doesn’t write yet, but craves a place to reflect on your hopes, insights and dreams amidst your busy life.
Through gentle, inclusive writing prompts, poetry, music and sharing in community, Feed Your Spirit Writing is a way to:
- Establish a space for spiritual and expressive exploration;
- Develop a writing practice that invites reflection and curiosity;
- Review your writing with an eye for where to go deeper.
There is never any pressure to share your work. Some participants prefer to listen. Workshops are framed with empathy and the practice of listening to each other.
‘What an amazing class! I honestly can’t wait for the spring one. I’m astounded how the process hits on such different paths of inner feelings and light inside where I’ve not been before.’
–Jill S, workshop participant
‘The energy around this awesome group of people, and your gentle and steady guidance Ariella, are a wellspring of creativity and a balm to the soul. I am looking forward to sitting with all that was shared, and am so excited for the summer workshop!’
–Karen F, workshop participant

‘I had tears in my eyes watching the sweet faces of participants after they would read something. I can’t find the words for their expressions but they just blew me away. Here I am a writer and I can’t find words and I have to say things like ‘I’m blown away’ which is so inadequate!‘
–Amy M, workshop participant
