Writing with the Wild
Writing with the Wild came about through repeated messages that I received while spending time outside as well as during meditation. I have always had a gift of being able to communicate with animals, plants and the more-than-human world, yet I kept it to myself. After the crossing over of my beloved golden retriever, Blue, in 2019, the messages became louder and I was guided to make this a priority in my life to be a voice for these emissaries and to help others remember how to connect. In 2024, I led weekly classes that held the space for various beings who had messages for the human world. They were divided by their specific teachings.
As this is a contemplative practice, to gain the most benefit, I encourage you to listen with headphones or in a quiet space. Materials needed: pen and paper, or if you’d like to draw, paint or watercolor. It can be supportive to have water or something to drink. For some people, the messages come through as full writing such as letter, poem or journal. Others may go on a quiet inner journey and be given images to create with. There is no right or wrong way. Even if you are not familiar with the animal, plant, crystal or flower that has arrived, I invite you to trust your intuition and the messages that come through. If you feel called, you can research more later. The messages all begin with trust.
Each class is set up as follows:
Welcome message for the theme followed by a grounding mediation.
Guided imagery to meet the first being followed by 10 minutes of quiet writing time.
We then flow into the next 3 beings with the same design: guided imagery followed by 10 minutes of writing.
Because the classes were recorded from a live experience, the last portion is participants sharing their insights and experiences. I have chosen to keep this so that others might connect some commonalities.
You can listen to the classes broken into sections or complete the full 60-75 minutes.
Stay tuned for more live offerings on my Calendly page.
