REMEMBER. Relearn. RETURN.
Let this serve as a place to tap into connection, communion, and belonging. First and foremost with yourself.
Let this serve as the place you come to reclaim, and tend to, the kind of fluency you were born with.
Welcome to a space and a time dedicated to YOU. To finding and stepping into your own aliveness, to the re-membrance and re-creation of self.
I am a harbinger.
I come with an abundance of words and a house for you to rest within.
Harbinger| ˈhärbənjər
From Old French, meaning “provide lodging for those on a journey.”
I have placed myself inside the slipstream of multiple journeys, each of them taking me to the cusp of myself and beyond.
From those journeys, I have gathered many tools and learned I am here to do two things:
1. WRITE: Use pen and ink to share my own experience wading through rivers of love, loss and the liminal; and
2. GUIDE: Provide lodging and nourishment (metaphorical and literal) as you step into yours.
This is my calling. This is my job.

THE NATURE OF NARRATIVE RETREAT
March 20 - 23, 2025 - Whidbey Island, WA
Tuning into knowing. Turning it into narrative. Three days of embodied creativity at the water’s edge.
Three days of embodied creativity at the water’s edge.
The etymology of the word narrative is from Latin gnarus ‘knowing’ .
In other words, the stories we tell, the narratives we write, and the lives we create from that place are really about two things:
1. Discovering our deepest knowings, the erudition that lives in our flesh; and
2. Connecting the dots of those knowings to form a chain of wisdom that can help guide us through our past, present, and future at once.
Join me for a long weekend of using paper and ink to deepen your craft as well as your life.
$2,250 all-inclusive ($950 deposit required)
