In a world craving genuine connection, Meredith Heller's latest book, 'Writing by Heart: A Poetry Path to Healing and Self Discovery,' offers a sanctuary.
Leaving home at 13 to find her own way in the world led Meredith Heller through dangerous and heartbreaking terrain, but she didn't just survive; she thrived.
In our conversation today Meredith delves into the challenges of navigating adolescence, the beauty of becoming fully authentic and deeply connected to life through the initiation of adversity, and shares how her profound trust in the natural world supported her as she learned to use the transformative power of writing to grow and heal.
We explore the importance of creating a sacred space for storytelling and connection, the use of writing as a tool for self-reflection and empowerment and Meredith offers us a beautiful guided writing exercise on the wisdom of atonement.
Tune in to uncover the therapeutic power of putting pen to paper.
