I wish we could be face-to-face chatting cozily over mugs of tea, but given that’s not what’s happening here, I’m just glad to be showing up in this way. One of my favorite ways, really—through words on the page. My hope is that this guide offers you a little insight and inspiration, and ultimately points you back to that limitless place where your own creativity is born. A place, by the way, which you never left, and which has never left you. You may have forgotten or gotten distracted—but it hasn’t. Just take out a sheet of paper, grab a pen, and test it for yourself.

I hope that the meditation helps you to access this place, and the song offers some inspiration.

May the words flow freely, may there be joy in the creating, and may you keep opening to the deep rivers of your being.

With love,
Marisa

I'm Marisa, and I've had the blessing of over twenty years of experience in my two vocations, art and self-realization.

On the creative side, I am the author of the memoir Loyal to the Sky, which won a Nautilus Gold Award for world-changing books, and my essays, fiction, and poetry have appeared in numerous publications. My songs are available on Spotify and my music videos on Youtube. I earned my MFA from the Iowa Writers’ Workshop, and I’ve received many fellowships in Creative Writing, including a Fulbright and an Elizabeth George Foundation grant.

On the spiritual side, I’ve been practicing Insight Meditation in retreats and daily life since 2002, and teaching since 2012. I am a Certified Facilitator of The Work of Byron Katie, a powerful practice for questioning painful beliefs and accessing intrinsic wisdom. I also have long-term practices in Authentic Movement, Somatic Experiencing, and Ecstatic Dance. I teach widely on creativity and transformation at places like Stanford, Spirit Rock, Esalen, and the California Institute for Integral Studies.  I am the founder of Live Your Creative Genius, an in-depth group creative coaching program.

Last but not least, I’ve had the great joy, time and again, of seeing my coaching clients blossom in their personal lives and succeed in their creative work—whether that’s landing a six-figure publishing deal, signing with a prestigious agent, or finally creating again after years of being blocked.
