Tend your body and heart as the garden where your original voice grows.
You’re here because there is a radically original voice swelling within you. A voice of wisdom, tenderness, love and fierce truth.
This is the page where I’m supposed to inflame your imagination with the wonderful possibilities of what it would be like, and what could happen, when you follow your heart’s longing to sing her one unrepeatable song.
But I know you already know you would be rewarded, primarily, with the brilliant aliveness of having done so.
All the uplevelings, accolades and doors that open in your professional life are incidental. The important thing is that you lived, vividly, from your heart.
You’ll never know your true impact. It extends so far beyond you. It is one of those invisible, immeasurable things, like the human soul. Yet it’s as real as rain.
I’m not going to sell you on making “buku bucks” or anything so disjointed in its relationship to the soul.
Instead I’ll remind you of this:
“Remember that when you leave this earth, you can take nothing that you have received...but only what you have given; a full heart enriched by honest service, love, sacrifice, and courage.”
-Saint Francis of Assissi
I’m also supposed to speak to your pain points and to the doubts and fears people typically have when it comes to this kind of commitment to yourself and your most astonishing life.
But I know you already know, way deep down, that a life divorced from your heart and soul is a life among the walking dead.
And that a courageous life of authentic expression is a transcendent reward that could never, ever be matched by outer trappings or external measurements.
Whether you want accountability around a writing project, to experience creative writing as a transformative gift in and of itself (shirking the entire notion of “product” or “result”), or whether you have an actual creative project that’s begging to be born through you, group or 1:1 options could be a solace for your creative soul and your voluble heart, or a cauldron of deep transformation. It depends on where you are and what you need at the deepest level.
Erotic Dance & Writing Temple
Who is this group for?
Become a Voice for Love
Who are 1:1 mentorships for?
This group is for women who :
-Are looking for a sacred, embodied creativity practice that will deepen their trust in their original voice and creativity, and give them a way to stay rooted in their heart as their primary spiritual guide and compass
-Want to be let in on the tools and practices that will help them actually complete and launch a book if they’re serious about it, or if it’s on their bucket list
-Desire accountability for an independent writing project and want to connect with and learn from other writers
-Long to connect their writing practice and all of their creative projects and longings to their embodied soul and the center of their heart, and to experience the awe, the medicine and the transformation that can occur as a result
-Would love to write their own mystic poems
1:1 mentorships are for people who:
-Desire all of what the group offers, but are also VERY serious about creating a specific, individually tailored plan to actually complete and launch a nonfiction book connected to their healing journey on a collaboratively determined timeline, OR are serious about allowing Love to move through them in any creative project or endeavor
-Are ready and willing to do whatever it takes to finally see their book (or other project) through to completion and heart-led launch, and to experience the exhilaration and joy of sending their message out to countless people across the world, enjoying the unexpected opportunities that will result from that for life
-Are ready to look straight at whatever is getting in their way “underneath the hood” and dive into a radical, soul-led transformation process to become a powerful voice for love on the planet today
The Basic Structure of the Journey in the Group and 1:1 Containers:
01 — Beatific Vision
By journeying deep into the body and heart and visioning from there, we will identify the images your heart holds for your biggest life, and your farthest reach as a voice for love on the planet today. We will also commit to goals and timelines (if that’s right for you at this time).
02 — Getting Naked like Inanna; Giving Birth like Ereshkigal
This is where the deep, juicy, soul-medicine element comes in, making this an absolutely transformational process for blossoming authors and creators. Just like Inanna had to become more and more naked during her underworld journey, losing some of the trappings and identities of her former self, all creative projects can be a similar journey of transformation. At the end of her journey, Inanna discovers that her underworld sister, Ereshkigal has been in labor throughout this process. And just like Ereshkigal, you’ll have birthed something utterly new by the end!
04 — Owning the Radically Original Event of Your Voice
This is where you get to become a real author, or present your project to the world! If you’re in the group and only wanted to experience transformative writing for its own sake, we still want you to share your voice with the group and own your originality! Imagine the bliss and exhilaration of sending your book sailing far and wide into the reader-sphere, maybe even hitting #1 in one or several of its categories! As long as this has been a soulful process all the way through, you should feel energized and exhilarated by the idea of giving your gift to the world. In 1:1 containers I will work with you very closely to identify a truly heart-led launch plan that sits right in your soul.
Aaaand, some bonuses . . . !
-If you join the group and then decide you want to add a 1:1 mentorship so that we can get serious about a specific, tailored plan to complete and launch your book or other creative project, the rate for your 1:1 mentorship will be generously discounted.
-New authors and blossoming creators through this program will have the opportunity to discuss their book (or other creations), their message, and their transformation process on my podcast, The Soul Speaks Poetry.
-Free stuff! As soon as you join the group, you’ll have access to my vault of hypnosis tracks and guided meditations to help you let love lead, increase your self-worth and abundance, and become deeply found in your life again.
What People Are Saying
“
Oh my good gravy train!! I absolutely loved it. I’ve actually been in a bit of a writing frenzy since the group ceased. My far too squandered soul had been waiting for a long time to explode with creativity. Annalise exploded my heart open. I am endlessly thankful!!
-T.V., Teacher
“
When you choose to stir the ‘Creative Cauldron’ with Annalise you are opening a dialogue with creativity itself. I found in the eight weeks we met together the acceleration of inspiration to be tangible. I was astounded each week how much had unfolded in the week, risks taken, goals achieved. Each meeting seemed to be a celebration of milestones, and unfolding I may not have perceived without the expert witnessing of so kind and supportive a collaborator. I am profoundly grateful for her deep listening and soulful generosity. Being a talented creator herself she spoke to me in my own words, it was a meeting of creative souls that I will cherish in times to come.”
— A.N., Artist, Writer, Ceremonialist
“So what did I love about this container....
It's natural organic unfoldment.
The way Annalise held space in a non hierarchical way (we need more embodied experiences like this) and also participated. It was great to hear her writing voice coming from her as well.
The vulnerability and tender holding of the group. I've never felt so comfortable letting my words out. (Yes, a testament to the personal work I've been doing internally but also it just felt like a very loving non-judgmental group).
I feel like I'm healing that community wound and this was the perfect community to do so!
On a personal level I think it gave me a lot of confidence especially the feedback.”
-C.C., Intuitive Bodyworker
“
I've been putting my calling off for YEARS AND YEARS worrying about what if I don't make it? What if I have to rely on myself? What if I fail, blah, Blah, BLAH!!!!
It's time to flip this dialogue around and become the political, intuitive, warrior that I am with all my conflicting and messy parts!! They are all me!!!!!!
You are going to love this one. I had a conversation with someone yesterday and suddenly all these ideas just started pouring out of my mouth/heart about programs at a National level for training and advocacy for people with disabilities. She was amazed and told me that she would put me in touch with the CEO of the agency she works for.
I was soooo inspired that I applied to work for the Biden-Harris administration. I challenged them to hire a wheelchair user too.
So Sister, your medicine is already having an effect on the world!!!
Grit your teeth and go!!!
