Fireflies, Roots & Waves is a self-paced journal writing retreat that invites you to pause, breathe, and listen to the quiet beauty of nature — and the wisdom within you. Through 30 soul-nourishing poems, I guide you with simple writing prompts, soothing meditations, and heartfelt practices to awaken your creativity and deepen your love for the earth.
You’ll be invited to:
Listen to beautiful nature poems that I love and explore what they stir in your heart with intuitive, simple journal writing prompts
Take creative walks with a single word as your companion to see what you notice and then write about it!
Explore journal writing as a mindfulness practice to bring you closer to yourself and the world through love, wonder and gratitude
Explore your memories of nature that have shaped you throughout your life
Create moments of peace and inspiration in a variety of nature settings: your backyard, in parks, the woods or forest, along a river or lake or in a busy city walking by a tree.
This retreat is for those who love the natural world and want to play and explore with their creative voice in their journal. You can move through it at your own rhythm — one poem, one walk, one word at a time.
