POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Pt. 1 It only took me two years, but here's the first batch of poems I bookmarked for myself and future readers in "Emerging From The Shadows - The Journey Of A Writer - Poetry & Musings". 🪶 😶‍🌫️ #otherworlds

A.N. Tipton has read and supported my work for several years, and I'm very grateful. Finalizing our books at similar times, she shared many encouraging comments to not let obstacles or time discourage me from publishing my first book.

In her first book, A.N. is hopeful, excited, honest, open, and spiritual. I enjoyed the shifting between playfulness and darkness. She makes it clear she is exploring life and her art with a newly awakened awareness. She has no concerns of others' thoughts, and she is loving it.

Thanks for sharing your world and being a beacon of light for the souls in the shadows, A.N.

I think the greatest achievement in life is to truly learn and love yourself. Hearing the childlike love and fascination with the miraculous human writing the words in the book, I'm comforted for your journey. The colors are bubbling, and I can't wait to see what appears next.

I'll be sharing my next batch of overdue favorites from books by my poetry amigos @medinawrites and @poesia_con_paz in the near future. 👍

Follow @antiptonauthor and check out more of A.N.'s work in the meantime!

Shout out which poems made you see/feel something in the comments. 👀

My name is Lover Boy in Space, and I'm here to show the world light and color in darkness.

Welcome to my world, and thank you for being with me.

SATURDAY, SEPT 14

The debut poetry and story collection Emerging Through the Shadows explores the complex terrains of spirituality, healing, and human resilience.

#savethepoets #booksafterhours #cloudandleaf #cloudandleafbookstore #manzanita #manzanitaoregon

A.N. Tipton's writing emerges from the intersection of creativity, healing, and vulnerability. Her first poem was published in the National Library of Poetry as a teenager, reinforcing a lifelong exploration of the intricate layers of human experience. Through stream-of-consciousness poetry, intimate musings, and short stories, she invites readers into a raw exploration of personal growth, grief, and resilience.

✨ Together, These Women Create the Heartbeat of Project Wellness. ✨

Each of these incredible women brings something unique and powerful to the day. Some I’ve known for years, others I’ve only just met — but all are connected by the same thread: a passion for wellness and guiding others to show up authentically for themselves.

From movement to meditation to healing tools, this lineup was designed to give you a taste of practices that awaken, restore, and inspire. Each segment is different, each one special — just like you.

Our invitation: come with an open heart and curiosity. Notice what feels nourishing, what sparks joy, and what stirs something inside of you. There is no “right way” to experience this retreat — only your way. 🌿

These women are not only talented but deeply professional. They’ll hold space for you to explore, connect, and discover what is most meaningful for you.

🤍 This day is about you, and these women are here to help guide you back to your own heartbeat. 🤍

Don't forget to fill.our into for the Human Designs Segment!! Link in bio!

See you there! 🫶

✨Session Leader Spotlight✨

I'm over the moon to have this soul leading a breakout session this year!! I've experienced the powerful force behind her writing and journal prompts! Get ready to release some old layers! ⚡

Let's welcome Angela Tipton- Author, Poet, Reiki Master and Co-founder of Empower Your thoughts, to the PW family!! @antiptonauthor

Tipton's writing emerges from the intersection of creativity, healing and vulnerability. Her work has roots in early recognition- her first poem published in the national library of poetry as a teenager- and a lifelong commitment to understanding the intricate layers of human experience. Through stream-of-consciousness poetry, intimate musings and fictional short stories, she invites readers into a raw unfiltered exploration of personal growth, grief and resilience.

Join A.N. Tipton For a powerful 45-minute Writing Workshop inspired by her healing workbook-
Emerging through the shadows: the journey of a writer.

In this session, we explore Gaia the Healer, the part of ourselves that roots, releases and nurtures through guided meditation, creative writing, prompts and teachings on writing without judgment.
You'll begin to uncover the healing voice within.

No writing experiences necessary.

Just bring your open heart and a journal.

Discover how nature's wisdom and your own authentic voice can lead to Healing, clarity and deep self-connection.

•SPACE TO REFLECT
•PROMPTS TO IGNITE THE SOUL
•TIME TO WRITE AND JUST BE

Let your words be the medicine.
