Writers at the Well
Interviews with authors about their experience "at the well." How do they draw words and images up from the depths? What underground streams fuel them? How they know when they are aligned, in flow, attuned to the will of their story, and when they are off course? Do they incorporate meditation or other forms of spiritual practice to keep them connected to their truth? Let's find out!
Writers at the Well is a sister to Tess's meditation podcast, Heart Haven Meditations: which offers practices that draw from modern neuroscience and ancient wisdom traditions.
