Writing is the Ritual.
Your Soul is the Ink.
Writing with Soul exists to nurture writing as a sacred act where silence becomes song, pain becomes words and words become wings. We believe stories hold the power to heal, connect and transform, and that every person has a creative voice worth honoring and amplifying. Writing with Soul aims to protect, cultivate and celebrate what no machine can replicate… the human spirit poured into words.
We welcome writers, readers, seekers, creatives and dreamers who have a story to share and believe that storytelling is ritual, expression is healing, and authentic words satisfy the soul.
“Writing with Soul is a collaborative, holistic approach to the health, expression, wellness and success of an author and artist. Writing is much more than a solo art that spans many creative genres, classroom instruction or a group meetup guided by prompts. While those actions are useful, it’s also just as important to balance and clear intellectual, emotional, physical and spiritual channels of a creator. WWS provides an empowering, collaborative and educational community space for the necessary inner and outer work of a storyteller.”
—Kelly Eliza Clark, Creator of Writing with Soul LLC
A Community lighthouse for Writers and Creatives on the inspiring Oregon Coast
“As healers, light workers, creatives and writers, we are the voice of this very special and magical place called the Oregon Coast. However, some of us have such things as trauma, even ancestral, and need shadow work on using our voices. Not doing this can lead to blockages.
Writing with Soul is a community devoted to holistically clearing our channels so we can create from authentic voices and to our fullest expressions in order to bring personal satisfaction and success. Along with guidance in some traditional crafting, we also use alternative tools and studies for a storyteller. We dive into theatre, acting, astrology, tarot, music, meditation, sound, somatic and shamanic journeys, sometimes in collaborative spaces with other practitioners, through workshops, writing circles, retreats and individual mentoring.”

Meet Kelly Eliza Clark
“I look back at my writing from before I did a lot of my inner work, and I was not in alignment. No matter how much gifting or knowledge I had of the craft as a creative, I struggled to match what my inner voice truly wanted to say. I spent years in angst. Many of us write and put it in the trash all the time or are stuck on a blank page, and we say, “This just doesn't feel like me.” And question if we can even do it. We can compare ourselves to other creatives and minimize ourselves, our expressions and our stories.
We are blocked. We feel unsatisfied. Nothing we create seems right. Something deep within us, our intuition, says, “This is not it.” Or our shadows tell us, “I can’t express it.”
But what is IT? I’m here to support writers and those who don’t even identify as one yet excavate the stories they sense they are here to tell on a deeply personal and soul level.”
—Kelly Eliza Clark
Writing with Soul LLC was founded by Kelly Eliza Clark, a writer, teacher and intuitive creative, who holds a Bachelor of Arts in English from UNLV with a focus in Literature and Creative Writing. Kelly has known since she was five years old that she has an unconventional poet and storyteller soul and has written many genres from plays to prose and poetry to press releases.
Born and raised in Las Vegas, she has a versatile background in Acting, Directing, Film, Theatre, Public Relations and Journalism as forms of storytelling and appeared in several blockbuster movies and on stage. Kelly has spent her entire life in spiritual, therapeutical, and artist communities. Throughout her life she has helped organize, facilitate and participated in many Special Events, workshops, classes, and retreats. Kelly lives to mentor others in their individual spirituality, soul purpose and creativity.
As a self described curious cat with many lives and a sponge of experience as any good writer and guide should be, Kelly also spent several years as a Secondary English and Theatre teacher and director. However, much of her innate wisdom, experience and research was cultivated from being a Flight Attendant for over a decade, when she dove into the depths and heights of humanity and culture all around the world.
Four years ago, Kelly was called to land and grow some roots on the Oregon Coast during a mid-life awakening and finally say a “Full F*** Yes” to her soul purpose of being a writer and builder of creative communities.
WWS came to her in an actual dream. She has spent many years allowing this venture to marinate as she cultivated herself with support into the holistic creative she is today.
