The Heartifacts Mentorship is a comprehensive writing mentorship designed to bring a transformational writing project to life (book, mini-memoir, personal journey, or other writing project), alongside a dedicated community of committed women writers. Designed for those who feel the call not just to write — but to launch, complete, or claim a meaningful body of work. 

The Women’s Writing Weekend Workshop is offered quarterly throughout the year on campus at UCLA. This course is designed for writers of all levels looking for creative inspiration. Through writing prompts, in-class writing and sharing, strength-based feedback, and simple tools and tips, we create a supportive community where every writer’s imagination is lit and nurtured. At the end of the workshop, students leave with multiple pieces that may be seeds for future stories, develop into longer writing projects, or simply be creatively satisfying.

In colllaboration with Madelyne Schermer of Abundance Mindfulness, begin February through guided mindfulness meditation and soulful, in-the-moment writing practices. This workshop offers a grounded, reflective alternative to the usual Valentine’s messaging, creating space to listen inwardly and explore how being love can shape the way we live – allowing kindness to ripple outward into our relationships, communities, and daily lives.

In this intimate, soul-nourishing weekend retreat on the Upper West Side, a small circle of women gather for two days of deep creative awakening. Whether you’re a brand-new writer longing to discover your voice or an experienced writer seeking renewed inspiration, you’ll be guided through intuitive prompts, in-class writing, strength-based feedback, and simple but powerful craft tools that help your ideas flow with ease. Every woman’s imagination is ignited, honored, and nurtured. Leave with a collection of fresh pieces—sparks that may grow into essays, stories, or longer projects—as well as a meaningful take-home creation of your own words.
