When someone writes, plays, and pays attention without trying to be impressive, they recover information about what makes them feel alive. That information helps them make braver choices in their creative work and in their life.
I work at a cross section of disciplines: creativity as experiment, writing as a way of knowing, curiosity as rebellion and surprise as evidence that you have moved beyond the familiar.
With the Open Door Experience you get a curation of personalized writing experiments and six 1-on-1 sessions with me. By the end of six sessions, you will understand more clearly what helps your creativity come alive, have a set of writing experiments you can return to and know how to continue without waiting for perfection or inspiration.
This offer sits between creative recovery and personalized coaching, with less emphasis on craft or publication and more emphasis on experimentation, aliveness, and self-knowledge. The 5 movements we will work through during each session are: Notice, Choose A Door, Experiment, Gather, Carry Forward.
In the Open Door Experience, I choose the writing experiments for you. However, with time, the goal progression is: I choose writing experiments for you, you choose writing experiments for you, you create your own writing experiments.
** This is a creative guidance and coaching experience. It is not therapy, mental-health treatment, crisis support, diagnosis, manuscript edition or a promise of a specific artistic result.
This is for you if:
- Everything you try to make feels as if it has to be useful, polished or shareable.
- You have been consuming advice or using AI to get past discomfort, and your own voice feels quieter.
- Your have notebooks, half-finished ideas or private longings, but no gentle structure for returning to them.
- You do not need more pressure. You need a surprising first move and someone who can notice what happens next.
