Honoring the creative voice
welcome to Writing With Soul
“WWS welcomes those who identify as a writer trying to write a piece of any genre and size, a musician trying to write a song and an artist just trying to find their voice. We welcome the educated and uneducated and those who don’t feel they are a writer but just know they have a story to tell. We invite soul seeking humans of any age because our souls are ageless. We all can learn from and spark each other no matter where we are in our individual creative journeys.
As much as art is a solo action, we sometimes aren’t able to reach our fullest expression without a catalyst, mentor or muse and without others who see, understand, know how to encourage and keep us accountable to our stories and dreams. WWS is a space designed for creatives and writers to cultivate and help accomplish all of this.”

WHAT is Writing With Soul?
“In a world where the written word is being drowned out by noise and artificial intelligence, WWS is fighting for the sinking ship of language, story and soul. Not all writers write with soul. Not all writers have a devoted writing practice and knowledge of the craft. WWS offers a space to balance, guide and educate in both the internal work and external crafting of a storyteller to help strengthen our creative muscles and trust in ourselves as creatives in this ever-changing technological world. It takes inner work to step more into our higher selves and to become a divine vessel.
We combine some traditional crafting with alternative tools and studies for a storyteller. We dive into such subjects as theatre, acting, astrology, tarot, meditation, sound and shamanic journeys in collaborative spaces with other practitioners through a variety of avenues such as workshop sessions, advanced writing circles, retreats and individual mentoring.”

the vision of Writing With Soul
WWS is a beacon of writers and creatives, locally on the Oregon Coast and beyond, who feel there’s more than conventional education and crave a soulful, community‑rooted path to growth and publication.
We envision:
A living community of writers, creatives and holistic practitioners who see themselves as lighthouses, teaching and uplifting one another.
An ecosystem of offerings (Spark Sessions, Deep Dives Sessions, Advanced Writer Circle, Path to Publication individual mentoring, retreats, readings) that support writers from first curiosity to outward creative expression and finished works of different genres.
Waves and Words emerging as a beloved platform for sharing stories, poetry, and a collective of voices from the unique and vibrant Oregon Coast.
Writing With Soul recognized as a model of alternative education that blends craft, spiritual depth, healing, and community impact.
A HiGHER PURPOSE
“Writers rising up with our artist voices as leaders can help shift the collective consciousness into a new earth higher vibration at this crucial hour in a fractured humanity.
How do we as creatives step into a higher vibration and help usher in this new wave of collective energy that has the potential to heal humanity? We bring it inward by connecting to our souls and embodying our individual higher selves and purposes. We stop relying on the external sources, institutions and organizations for our happiness, health and fulfillment. We heal and tune our voices with internal work often missed in creative crafting. When we are individually in a high vibe, we are listening to our intuitive voice, our creative channel is clear, and we flow with focus, authenticity and purpose. We heal ourselves and manifest. We are magnets and can make our higher dreams come true. This ultimately helps others, even energetically like a ripple effect, to do the same.
WWS is a space for this guided ritual and practice.”
