“I worked with Naomi over many years to revise, edit, and polish my trilogy — and always felt gracefully received and held through this 'book birthing' process. Her faith in my book was very important to me in keeping my inner critic at bay. She inspired me to honor what I have written by doing the work necessary to bring it into the coherent and beautiful form it deserves. Her support and kindness and wisdom have been worth every penny!" — Rahima Warren, MFT, author, The Star-Seer's Prophecy (a fantasy trilogy of the healing journey)

The Co-Writing Sanctuary
Writing in the deep space of your own heart, in company + in solitude
Write in protected, shared solitude,
held by the energy I hold for you, as well as the presence of like-minded souls on a similar writing journey. A journey of self-intimacy and pages produced out of the natural self-listening process.
“That was probably the best writing group experience I ever had and the most surprising feeling of sanctuary and grace. Your beautiful voice, wise words, kindness, and encouragement . . . what an incredible feat you pulled off, transcending technology, distance, and time to bring us together in such blessed energy. It feels like such a different time dimension. I feel such freedom. It’s allowed me to explore.”—Jane Majkiewicz, writer, editor, literary agency emeritus
