INTRODUCING
Wild Writing® with Andrea
A creative practice for writing what’s true, listening deeply, and reconnecting with the beauty of our stories.
I’ve been Wild Writing with Laurie Wagner (the creator of this method) for 22 years now, and it’s still my core creative practice.
Yes, it’s writing—but it’s also so much more than that. Wild Writing is a healing practice disguised as a writing practice. It strengthens the muscle of telling the truth and invites the creative unconscious to lead the way. Over time it makes us better writers, but it also makes us better humans. It deepens the waters of our lives and our relationships.
I’ve been practicing it quietly in the background of my life for all these years, and I’m excited to begin sharing it more fully in my teaching. My intention has always been to help women become more creative, more brave, and more connected—to themselves and to each other—and Wild Writing goes straight to the heart of that.
Also, a little secret: if you’ve ever wondered how I’ve managed to keep blogging so consistently for all these years (since 2002—back in the dinosaur days of blogging!), Wild Writing has been my secret sauce all along.
You don’t need to call yourself a writer to join in.
You don’t need to fancy yourself a writer to do Wild Writing. The practice is designed to be super accessible. We arrive with our messy, beautiful and imperfect selves. Our aim is not to be the best writer in the room, but to come together to explore what’s alive in us and what’s true. The invitation is to show up exactly as we are.
Each week we gather in circle—sometimes around an actual table, sometimes on Zoom—and begin with a poem. From that poem we choose a jump-off line, a little doorway into the unknown.
From there we write quickly, pen never leaving the page, letting the words come without editing or trying to make them perfect. Our only job is to say yes to what arrives—the images, memories, and stories that rise from the creative unconscious.
Here’s what to expect:
Each time we gather, we’ll begin with a poem. From that poem we’ll choose a single line—a jump-off line, a little doorway into the unknown.
From there we write quickly, pen never leaving the page, letting the words come without trying to make them perfect. Our only job is to say yes to what arrives—the images, memories, and stories that rise from the creative unconscious.
After writing, we read our pieces aloud to one another. There is no critique or feedback. Instead, we practice the art of deep listening, witnessing each other’s stories with presence and care.
Again and again, people discover that something surprising happens in this simple structure: the words begin to flow, stories surface that we didn’t know were waiting, and a beautiful sense of connection begins to grow in the circle.

A jump-off line to begin writing. This will be your doorway into the creative unconscious.

Reading
The opportunity to read your work aloud. This might sound scary at first, but we’ve got you. It’s a powerful part of what makes the circle safe and rich with meaning.

Deep listening from the circle. Listening is its own muscle. We practice this.

No feedback or critique, just a generous group of fellow writers receiving your words.

“Andrea has taught me so much about the power of intuition and the importance of being present.
There’s amazing clarity in the way she communicates vulnerability and joy in her stories and in her photography – it’s the best kind of truth-telling.“.
