shoot earthward; your top
stretches to the sun: bulb
full as birdsong.❞

My integrated approach helps writers access their full creative voice—emotionally, intellectually, and spiritually.
I focus on the whole person, focus on both craft and process, and, for those who want it, integrate mindfulness and embodied practices.
I believe that we write to uncover who we really are, to come to know ourselves and to shine our light, whatever genre we're working in.
The encouragement and level of acceptance I felt from Nadia allowed me to move past unresolved trauma around being seen and heard. My authentic voice had been buried under all of this fear. The course gifted me the opportunity to come out of hiding and heal what was in the way of my own inner sense of knowing and emotional voice.
Taking Nadia’s class changed my life and I do not exaggerate when I say it was how I found my true life, my true self.
Nadia Colburn is truly one of those very great teachers
Working with Nadia makes me love both the process and the product! Nadia has supported my staying focused and provided excellent editorial input so that there is, in fact, a great product! I've now finished and published my poetry book, and am living a life as a published poet deeply engaged in the poetry world! I couldn’t quite imagine any of this at the beginning of my work with Nadia!
