"To walk quietly until the miracle in everything speaks is poetry, whether we write it down or not.”
 Mark Nepo

Poetry has been my first language, along with laughter. It is through direct revelation with the world that I learn the whys and hows of what it means to be a human on this Earth.

Curiosity and creativity are always dancing beneath the surface and I long to bring them to the light. . It is through painting canvases with words, that I can share what I have metabolized from my personal experiences. Yet, it is in recognizing the universality of these shared experiences, that the language of poetry meets you where you need to be met.

“Let yourself become living poetry.” Rumi

Stay tuned for workshops and retreats that involve creative expression and writing and connection with nature and poetry.

  • This book is both uplifting, and brilliantly written as a map to your inner child waiting to be reborn into the Light that is it's birthright. I couldn't put it down until I read it in full (the English part of it) while I immersed myself in it's beauty. A book to be read again and again whenever you need inspiration, or encouragement.

  • I love the deep understanding that Maura has of her spirit. Our life journey crossed paths for a short time, but was a connection from the beginning. This is a wonderful book to strengthen your our quest of life.

  • Reading and especially listening to these poems read, is a divine experience. This great work inspires us to take our divine spark and magnify it to encompass our whole community.

    Thornton Streeter

  • Maura is not afraid of the deep- she is not afraid to guide the reader into the deep, into the wide open, sometimes unknown space of healing.
For those who are hurt, ashamed, lost, feeling disconnect, hopeful, helpless, happy, sad, lonely, driven, beaten up, broken down--- These are the poems of our tribe.
Maura is an accomplished activist for the soul. Reading these poems has been a balm to my worn out soul.
She is able to speak to all generations, and her ability to connect across cultures and genders is a true gift.
I cannot recommend this small but powerful book of poems to everyone.

    Becca R

  • A great read to help anyone on this life journey. You’ll want to read and re-read the poems and get immersed in the words! Definitely recommend.

    Caroline Fallu

  • If you love poetry please add this one to your collection. Maura will take you on a journey to loving yourself, others and the world around us.

  • This is the book of poems that will keep on giving. You can feel the poems are written from love and inspiration and will touch your soul. This book won't end up on your book shelf collecting dust, it's a read that keeps on giving. I strongly recommend it to all that have open hearts. Her writing was inspiring. It made me remember what it's like to be alive again, to see the world from a new perspective. 
I recommend this book to all who are not afraid of opening their hearts to a divine journey. It was a fun and enjoyable read, but
 with a soul attached.

  • These poems are wonderful meditation inspiring. I took time to integrate and "work with" each one. The Moon Mantra, Earth and Love I think are my favorites. I will keep this book close at hand to read where a page opens for reflection and meditation. I know Maura Finn and can attest to the inspiration she allowed to flow.

  • Architect Of The Divine feels like my heart's longing, healing, and it's work explained through divinely guided language. Maura Finn obviously knows what it's like to remain awake in the dark finding more light in her's and humanity's heart than ever previously perceived. She essentially opens us up to the heart of the new paradigm, one of much more freedom, by way remembering forgotten parts our Selves.

  • Id recommend this book to anybody! But especially somebody learning how to love themselves again.. after reading this I felt a sense of peace and happiness that I have been longing for. I feel that it has given me the guidance to find myself again and who I truly am and want to be. I wish I could give it more than 5 stars! Amazing!

    Angelica

  • These poems helped me to mend my broken heart. It met me where I was at in the process of a heart wrenching divorce and her words helped me to heal. Not just heal but to realize the opportunity to grow and evolve. It's almost as if human trauma share the same roots. Maura dug deep to expose these raw vulnerable places and then transplanted the wounds into rich nourishing soil to be healed. I greatly appreciate her commitment to bring this powerful work into the world.

  • I love this book and have already bought more copies for friends and family. It seems there is an awakening among people in our society now. I have seen it in myself and in other women and men that I have met recently. We are looking within to know ourselves and our place in this world more deeply than ever before. The words the author has shared brought tears to my eyes in how intimately they reflected the feelings in my heart right now. They are validating and comforting and hopeful. I know I will go to them time and time again for study and self reflection along with meditation. Reading them aloud seems to make them even more powerful. I would highly recommend this book to others who are seeking to find their own power and have faith in their own heart.

  • Architect of the Divine is music to my soul! I felt as if the author wrote each poem for me. I was hooked after reading the preface "I felt as though I was on an epic quest and that no external map could guide me. I needed to go within, over and over, to realign my compass--my true north. And, because of this, I was always destined to get to the truth. My Truth." Each and every poem is written in love and inspired by Spirit. Many kind lessons and gentle reminders to come back to heart center are shared as the author, Maura, uses her own life lessons to impart wisdom to her readers. The poems are uplifting, inspirational, touching, and relatable. Pros: poems are shared in both English and Spanish, cover is breathtaking and makes a great book to leave on the table or open ended bookshelf, book is light and easily fits in a purse or backpack, line spacing is perfect...I dont need to squint to read and can even read without any reading glasses, can read all poems in short period of time or digest each one slowly Cons: I wish there were more poems! Not that more are needed, I just like the way they make me feel and feed my soul!

  • This is the kind of book that stays with you forever as you can pick it up and read any of the poems and find your heart happily beating. It is a book that reminds you to remember what you already know. The poetry comes alive as if your heart is speaking diectly to your soul. I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves to be inspired and lifted up with love. Maura is a gifted person who has graciously shared her gift of words with us.

  • I thoroughly enjoyed reading each poem. I took my time so as to feel the underlying essence and absorb the rich teachings. Each reading, accompanied by a peak at the lovely cover, transformed me into the dimension and life experience Maura Finn conveys. I now have it near, to pick up at whim, and take in a few paragraphs at a time, as an inspiration to my day.
