ABOUT ana
For twenty years, Ana has been spreading the fruits rendered from her immersion in silence and her extensive background in literary/spiritual writing. She has taught a variety of workshops - including Spiritual Memoir, Grief Processing, Mystic Poetry at universities, medical schools, hospitals, grade and high schools. She is highly sensitive to each individual’s needs and abilities and tailors her classes to meet the specific needs of each group.
Ana strives to create a safe, nurturing yet challenging atmosphere. Through deep guided meditations, she lures writers more deeply into their heart. People typically leave their session feeling lighter, more present to themselves and their words, and gently transformed.
If you would like to invite Ana to offer a Spiritual Memoir writing workshop in your area, please contact her directly. She is delighted to travel to you if you gather a group of 8 or more.
