FREE Workshop Sept 4: Embrace Your Inner Wild Writer

hello &

welcome home!

In a world we have shaped to run at an ever-increasing pace, we are often left exhausted as we reach for answers to some of life’s deeper questions.

How can we recover our sense of home both within ourselves and in the world?

How can we build a life of meaning that feels like it is truly ours?

How do we rekindle our sense of wonder and awaken our creativity to capture it?

I have found some of the answers in the wisdom of the natural world, a wisdom that leads us along a path sparkling with wonder that will lead us back to the truest version of ourselves.

Nature teaches us that the meaning we seek is already there, if only we are willing to turn our head skyward, watch a wave unfold as it moves towards the shore, or feel the wind on our skin. 

By letting ourselves be moved by the elemental forces that shaped our world and our own existence, we return to the wild place within that holds all we are and have yet to become. This is how we find our way home.
And this is where my work begins.

inspired by nature, at home

by the sea

I am a writer and mentor living on Rügen, a small island in the Baltic Sea in Northern Germany. 

My work, being deeply rooted in the rhythms and cycles of the natural world, seeks to connect threads of creativity and wonder, while touching on questions like how to live deeply and sustainably, while exploring our natural creative potential and overcoming what has held us back from becoming our truest expressive selves. 

I deeply care about protecting the world that sustains us.

I believe that creativity is, and will always remain, a deeply human trait.

I am here to write and explore, as well as to guide and inspire those who are on the same journey.

Writer, Mentor, wonder-seeker

I write, live, and work in a wild place – the island of Rügen in the Baltic Sea, just off Germany’s northern coast, is my chosen home. But it wasn’t always like that.

In another lifetime I was a violinist, before making words my profession as a translator and editor.
Right before the pandemic, I decided to start over creatively, building my own small business to help writers overcome creative blocks, reconnecting them to self-expression that is joyful and feels deeply meaningful.

When I’m not at my writing desk or buried in a book, you’ll probably find me where the sky meets the sea, staring at waves and feeling deeply at home in a beautiful wild place.
