August was work. Learning. Play. And in between it all, intentional moments of rest. ✨

This month taught me balance, the kind you have to keep choosing, not the kind that just arrives. And underneath all of it: gratitude. For the doing and the not-doing. For the full days and the still ones😌

The Silent Witness ✍🏽✨

Last weekend, we gathered for a half-day writing retreat rooted in presence, creativity, and connection, and we’re still carrying the magic of it with us.

Deep gratitude to every amazing woman who joined our facilitators, @letchange_changeme , @_thezenrn , and our founder, @dhayanalejandrina , in creating a space where we could slow down, listen inward, write freely, and simply be. Thank you for trusting us, showing up as you were, and making the room what it became.

There is something powerful about nurturing our creativity in spaces that allow us to create from safety, not survival. Spaces where we don’t have to perform, prove, protect, or hold it all together. Spaces where we can be witnessed in all that we are; and witness one another with tenderness, curiosity, and care.

A heartfelt shoutout to our incredible sponsors (@morehousecee , @actuallyc_rious , @portraitcoffee and @gatekeeperpresspublishing) who helped make The Silent Witness possible. Your support helped us create room for women to gather, exhale, and reconnect with their creative voices 🫂

And to everyone who attended: What are you taking with you?

Share one thing you took away from The Silent Witness in the comments, or tell us the action you’re committing to because of what you discovered in that room.

Let’s keep witnessing one another.
Let’s keep creating from safety.
Let’s keep making room for what wants to emerge. ✨

The nervous system doesn’t lie.

At the Silent Witness Retreat on Saturday I shared a body scan meditation and sound bath before we moved into conversation and creative writing. Phones down. Bodies on the floor (and couches). Bowls doing what words can’t.

I watched shoulders drop. Faces soften. A room full of strangers, finding their breath and calm.😌🧘🏾‍♀️

By the time we picked up pens, something had already shifted. The words came easier, because the body got to feel first.

“Listening before language.” 🎶

I’m excited to be leading us into a sound bowl meditation ✨ There is nothing to perform, nowhere to be, just a chance to let the noise settle before we pick up our pens again together for a dedicated Creative Hour.

Join me + curator @dhayanalejandrina of the @thecreativewritinghour alongside @mikhaylawrites for spoken word, a Finding Stillness conversation, and more.

For the writers still working up the nerve to call themselves writers. For the artists between seasons. For anyone just curious what stillness might make room for.

All are welcome🤎

I spent the weekend sharpening my skills with deep anatomy injection training, investing in the craft, and embracing every step of this journey. The more I learn, the more I realize that excellence is built through dedication, education, and repetition.

Grateful for the opportunity to learn from the best, connect with fellow professionals, and continue evolving into the injector I know I’m meant to be✨ #continuingeducation #aestheticnurse #rninjector #beautyandscience #nashville by @_thezenrn

There is something truly special about gathering in community to explore the creative journey together 💛

Our panel at Third Door celebrating Creative Stillness invited us to reframe writer’s block: not as something to fight, but as an invitation to pause, listen, and reconnect with our creativity. The conversations reminded us that stillness can be just as important to the creative process as action.

We’re so grateful to our incredible local authors— @parisbwrites , @_thezenrn , @christiane.writes , and our founder, @dhayanalejandrina, for sharing their wisdom and lived experiences. A heartfelt thank you to Maggi from @silentbookclubmarietta and @lyd_lovely907 for thoughtfully moderating such a meaningful conversation, and to @the.third.door for your continued hospitality and support.

It’s amazing what can happen when we create space for honest conversations. You never know whose perspective might inspire someone else to take a leap of faith or deepen their connection to their work.

What does creative stillness look like for you? We’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments. ✨

Still marinating in it all. Still processing what it means to be part of a book.

I’ve been taking my time reading Creative Stillness. It means so much to me. I smile every time I remember that it’s my favorite book now... and I’m in it.

I’ve been reading one poem a day, and it all hits differently now that I’ve had the chance to meet so many of the beautiful people behind these words. Every poem carries an even deeper meaning because I can now connect each voice to a face, a hug, a conversation, a moment🫶🏾

I’m sitting in gratitude. Thankful for this opportunity, for this community, and for the reminder that words truly have the power to bring people together.

Thank you @dhayanalejandrina @thecreativewritinghour @gatekeeperpresspublishing. Thank you for creating a space where our stories can live, breathe, and bring us together🤎 by @_thezenrn

On a flight back to ATL, still buzzing from the beautiful energy of celebrating Creative Stillness: The Anthology.

Watching @dhayanalejandrina navigate the waves of this creative process has filled me with so much gratitude for the hard work, intention, and care poured into this piece of art. Hearing the authors read their work, meeting them in person, and embracing them felt like reuniting with soul family.

Being in NY was a testament to the power of speaking desires into existence. I remember having conversations about wanting to share my poetry and one day be published in a book. To stand there and celebrate that desire becoming reality was emotional and deeply fulfilling.

Thank you, Dhayana, for creating such a beautiful community. And thank you to the authors and members of @thecreativewritinghour for embracing me and my poem, which holds such a special place in my heart.

My heart is full. ✨📖🤎
