ECourses
Here are current ecourses to help you navigate The And Space:
Here: Five Things
Here: Five Things gives you a simple month-long practice of making a list of five things each day. I send you a prompt and inspiration each day, and you make a list. But it’s really much more than that, which is why I teach it several times a year and people come back to it again and again.
You have two options with this course:
2024 FIVE THINGS: The next round of Five Things began September 1. Registration is open! Learn more and sign up for that course right here.
THE BEST OF FIVE THINGS: This is a new course I’ve created that is always available. It is housed in a classroom over on Teachery. With this “Best of” edition I’ve gathered up 30 of my favorite prompts (mostly from 2022) for you to explore if you are new to Five Things or want to list during a month I’m not teaching a new round. Sign up here.
Side by Side
During the summer of 2023, I sat down and practiced one of my favorite prompts and made a list of stories I want to tell. As I started to write this list, I realized I wanted to share these stories with you because maybe you, like me, need these reminders of how to reach toward presence, compassion, and love each day. So I’ve gathered them up along with quotes, poems, and other inspiration for this new offering I’m calling Side by Side.
Dates: You can begin this 31-day practice at any time.

Water your Soul
In this course, we sit side by side and look at ways you can stay anchored to your deepest wisdom and self-compassion as you make your way in what I call The And Space. You will come away with practices you can use again and again to fill up your own internal well so you can be more present to your loved ones and other things in your life. Each lesson will help you water your soul through kindness, creativity, mindfulness, and connection.
Dates: You can join us at any time. The content is shared over 5 weeks and includes recorded Zoom calls you can watch.

HERE: Pay attention & Be Astonished
The HERE ecourse series invites you to explore a month-long creative practice of writing lists to anchor yourself in the midst of daily life. It’s about giving yourself the gift of presence and connection for a few moments each day. And it’s a mindful practice that can be done in a notebook, in your art journal, with photos, as part of a scrapbooking project, or simply in the notes app on your phone.
Dates: The classroom is open and you can sign up at any time.
In this session of HERE, we explore the ideas of Paying Attention and Being Astonished, inspired by Mary Oliver.
Tell It
The blank page, the blinking cursor, the big white canvas, the camera in the corner. They sit there waiting. But in that empty space, an entire world awaits. A world that you (yes, you) create by simply picking up your pen, putting your fingers to the keyboard, grasping your paintbrush, bringing your camera up to your eye.
There are stories to be told, honey. Stories waiting inside you that are ready. And I want to help you tell them. Come along for Tell It - a month of prompts and inspiration to help you tell your stories.
This is an ongoing class and registration is open! Learn more and sign up here.
Here: Touchstones
HERE: Touchstones combines list making + letter writing + gathering inspiration into a journal full of "touchstones" to help us stay connected to what William Stafford calls “the thread” within us. Think of this course as an invitation to explore what guides you, what helps you feel at home, where you find inspiration. Maybe your “thread” is gratitude, joy, or love. Maybe it is speaking up, connecting others, nurturing people, or sharing stories. Maybe you are unsure about your thread, and you’re interested in figuring it out. Join me in exploring these ideas and more
Dates: Class was held October 1 - 31, 2021, but you can sign-up at anytime and have access to all the class content and the recorded Zoom classes.
Tell It: Collage
Tell It: Collage invites you into the mediums of collaging + journaling (plus a big dose of inspiration and connection) to help you tell the stories waiting inside you.
But this course is even more than that.
It sets the foundation for creative self-care that you can do almost anywhere so that you feel supported and connected to your truth and inner wisdom as you move through the world.
And it connects you with a community of kindreds each finding their way to telling their stories every day. Come along for 21 days of creating and unearthing your stories.
Dates: Ongoing (you can sign up at any time)
Registration for the updated course is open! Learn more and register here.
Poem it out
In Poem It Out, you explore the world of poetry from a place of curiosity and openness. You read poems that invite you to nod your head and say, “Me too…me too.” You face the blank page and say, “Bring it” and write the words that are ready to burst out of you.
You stop everything to Poem It Out.
Dates: Ongoing (you can sign up at any time)
Tell It: Color
Come along for 14 days of color adventures. This course is your invitation to create space for creative play as you explore the stories waiting in the colors around and inside you. You choose the medium, and I provide prompts, inspiration, and space for connection.
This is a fun, easygoing class, and I'd love for you to come along.
Dates: Ongoing (you can sign up at any time)
