The Art of Life and Writing jobs and careers

About The Art of Life and Writing

I create and teach writing curricula designed to evoke social/emotional literacy development, reflection, mindfulness, creativity, healing, personal leadership, empowerment, inspiration, transformation, and soul-tending for all types, ages, cultures, and inclinations of people and organizations. I do this based on over 20 years of personal writing experience, an extensive review of the research on the mental, emotional, social, behavioral, and spiritual benefits of writing about our lives, and 20 years of field research I designed and conducted. I work with adolescents and adults struggling with anxiety, depression, poverty, homelessness, addiction, as well as aspiring youth writers, social service and mental health professionals, undergraduates, educators, parents, youth workers, and everyday people in my community of north Minneapolis. I am a humanist who believes deeply in the power of our stories. My mission is, through the art of writing, to launch people into their highest possibilities, inspiring them to be who they are meant to be and give the gifts they are meant to give this world.
