Reclaim Your Voice Through Poetry with Meredith Heller

Join us for an intimate conversation with poet and author Meredith Heller as she shares her powerful journey from homeless teenager to guide helping women worldwide reclaim their authentic voices through poetry. We explore how writing serves as deep medicine for the soul, transforming our relationship with difficult emotions.

Guest: Meredith Heller, author of "Write a Poem, Save Your Life" and "Writing by Heart." After leaving home at 12, she found healing through poetry and now leads transformational writing workshops globally.


Befriending Your Inner Critic

  • Why silencing the critic drains our energy
  • The practice of "inviting the critic over for tea"
  • Working with beginner's mind at any experience level


Embracing Your Wildness

  • Redefining wildness as courage to feel fully
  • Why difficult emotions are "wildness trapped"
  • Moving from surviving to expressing life force


The Power of Witnessing

  • How sharing stories transforms shame into self-acceptance
  • Healing that happens in circle and community
  • Moving from isolation to "hive heart, hive mind"


Practical Tools

  • Weekly writing dates in different environments
  • Notice what sparks you and ask "Why is this meaningful to me?"
  • Write for yourself first, not external audiences


Key Quotes

"The wildness is the capacity, willingness, courage, and curiosity to express ourselves, to feel what we feel fully, no matter what it is."

"Write to touch your own truth. Write to reach your own hallelujah."
