Your relationship with writing becomes natural
Your relationship with the world becomes more alive
Your relationship with writing becomes natural
No more pressure. No more waiting until you're good enough. Just the simple act of noticing your life, your thoughts, your dreams and longings, and putting words to it all. Learning to trust your voice is enough.
Your relationship with yourself becomes kinder
Your relationship with the world becomes more alive
Your relationship with writing becomes natural
When you write with presence everything shifts. You meet your emotions with gentleness. You question the stories you've been telling about who you are. You befriend the parts of yourself you've been trying to fix.

When you practice noticing your life you become more present everywhere. More compassionate with yourself and others. More able to find peace in difficulty. More enchanted by the ordinary.
Holding Space for Your Sangha
Amanda Saint
Amanda is the founder of The Mindful Writer, the author of three novels, an award-winning publisher, and has spent many years learning to become enchanted with life no matter what's going on.
She's been teaching creative writing for 15 years, but what she's really teaching is how to pay attention. How to notice that your ordinary life is a thing of wondrous beauty, even when it’s hard.
An accredited mindfulness mentor, meditation teacher, journal therapist, and Reiki practitioner, she practices what she's inviting you into. Writing from her own life and showing up to the page with the same questions you bring to yours.
This Sangha is her life's work. Everything she's learned about presence, about story, about becoming enchanted with an ordinary life is here, in this Sangha, waiting for you.
