Mystical Nature Journeys presents
Discovering Your Poetic Voice
A 4-week online journey into poetry as a way of listening and giving voice to what’s real.
You’re welcome to join us.
Early Bird — $144
An Invitation
Step into a shimmering field of words and wonder, a space where your voice can stretch, breathe, and sing.
Over four sessions, we’ll explore fresh ways of writing poetry, letting inspiration run from mind, through arm, and onto page.
Sharing aloud is optional, but it builds confidence in your unique voice. Those who share often discover freedom and joy in it.
Together we will call poems into being, awaken unseen realms, and let your words shine with light, blessing, and heart.
When we come together in this way, with an opening blessing and a call to all our angels, ancestors, teachers, and guides, a sacred space is created.
Although we are in our own rooms and spaces, the larger joined field becomes palpable as we write together.
Kristina Wood and Jenny D’Angelo bring many years of working with poetry, sacred space, and creative practice. Together, they create a setting where something can open naturally—without pressure, and without needing to get it right.
A Poem for This Work
What we offer:
A stable yet shimmering
boundless energy field
for healing, blessing,
and benevolence.
We’re leading a light brigade
right into your heart.
If you let us in,
if you let us live in you a while,
we promise you will never be the same.
Let yourself see
by non-ordinary sight
a glorious god-world
and the many unseen realms
that are starting to populate and
beautify your world.
The old has got to tumble;
It must break so the new
can spring forth,
already full-formed
of Earth and Air
and your good hearts.
Weave by your actions,
weave by your thoughts,
weave by your gracious
acceptance of light
in your life, in your
word, in your world.
This is how poems arise.
Be an ecstatic carrier of the
engine of sacredness
in your own body, heart,
space, and thought.
Together we can create
and offer some good bliss
for a new humanity.
This is the kind of space we will be stepping into together.
Why Poetry
Poetry can take us places we did not know we were going or could go. Often once you begin a poem it tells you where to go next. Sometimes it is just a word or an idea that comes in from somewhere else. It is always surprising to follow such inner promptings.
When you let yourself follow, you discover things about yourself and the world that you did not know.
I love how Robert Frost said it, “A poem begins in delight and ends in wisdom.” I would even say, “ends in wonder.”
**Andrew Harvey video here
The world needs you to be open to wonder. Andrew Harvey says, “Wonder makes you strong.” We need to be strong and this is a very fine way to have wonder in your eyes and in your heart.
Poetry can be a simple way to return to something more direct, more personal, and more alive.
Who This Is For
This class is for anyone who is curious about words and poetry, whether as a reader or a writer, whether new to the art or an old hand at its magic.
In this class there are no rules, so you cannot do it wrong. We will not be analyzing or offering critiques; we will only be allowing.
This course is for you if:
🪷 You feel something inside but don’t know how to express it
🪷 You have written in the past and want to return to it in a comfortable, non-threatening way
🪷 You want a deeper relationship with language or nature
🪷 You are curious about poetry, whether you’ve written before or not
You don’t need to…
🪷 You don’t need prior experience with poetry
🪷 You don’t need to know how to do this
🪷 You don’t need to share unless you want to
This is a space to explore, notice, and follow what arises.
This way of writing can become a mindfulness practice of noticing.
If this speaks to you, you’re welcome to step in.
What You’ll Experience & Leave With
You will begin to develop your own way of writing that you can continue beyond the course.
Sharing is optional—but often fun, freeing, and surprising.

Our Approach
Poetry has inspired us throughout our lives, so we want to inspire others with its power and beauty.
Many people think poetry is hard to understand, and the way it is often taught in school can be quite off-putting. This class is not like that at all. It will be fun and exciting and real.
A good poem can boost you up and refresh you. It can revive your tired eyes.
We hope you will leave our dive into poetry with a renewed interest in its magic and possibility.
If you say “Yes,” if you let it move you, what will come back to you will be a bigger Yes to more of life and a deeper part of yourself.

Praise For Kristina Wood
MEET YOUR GUIDE: Kristina Wood
My name is Kristina Wood, founder of Mystical Nature Journeys and an author, story teller, pilgrimage leader, creator of meditations, teacher and personal supporter.
As a result of my own Mystical Nature Journeys over many decades, I have been liberated from false identities and ideas and I now feel a deep reverence for life. I recognize that this is the healing that our world needs and that You may also need, which is why you are here.
I want to contribute what I have learned about Mystical Nature Journeys. First, I want to tell about what is possible because it is deeper than what people are aware of. I want to share about how I have developed a profound sense of awe which is an intuition for the dignity of all things. I want to share some of the keys for tuning into this on the call.
