Discovering Your Poetic Voice
Early Bird — $144
Mystical Nature Journeys presents…
A 4-week online journey into poetry as a way of listening and giving voice to what’s real.
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.
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.
Join your guides, Kristina Wood and Jenny D’Angelo, who 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.
As U.S. Poet Laureate Robert Frost said, “A poem begins in delight and ends in wisdom.”
We would even say, “ends in wonder.”

The world needs you to be open to wonder.
The renowned Author and Mystic, 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 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.
If this speaks to you, you’re welcome to step in.
This course is for you if:
🪷 You feel something inside but don’t know how to express it
🪷 You want a deeper relationship with language or nature
🪷 You are curious about poetry, whether you’ve written before or not
🪷 You have written in the past and want to return to it in a comfortable, non-threatening way
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.
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.
Over the course, you may find:
More ease and confidence in your unique voice
A growing trust in what comes as you begin to write
A sense of your own way of working with poetry
New pieces, drafts, and fragments to continue developing on your own
What Each Session Includes
In four 2-hour sessions, you will explore fresh ways of writing poetry, discovering and strengthening your unique voice.
You don’t need prior experience with poetry.
Each gathering includes:
An opening blessing and calling in all our allies
A short teaching or inspiration
Poetry prompts
3 or 4 short writing sessions
Optional sharing
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.

About Kristina Wood
Kristina Wood has spent more than three decades listening to the living world, and enjoying it as it has helped her to evolve.
Her path has taken her into ceremony with Indigenous peoples on sacred lands in South Dakota, and across ancient sites in Egypt, Bhutan, Peru, and Ireland, Glastonbury, and many other places. These were lived experiences that reshaped her inner world.
Inspired by years of mystical encounters in nature, she began writing. Her first book, Why the Sunflower Smiles, which explores the Hidden Messages in Nature and illuminates wisdom woven through the natural world. Her second book, The Magic of the Real World, expands on these themes, revealing how connection with nature, the cosmos, and unseen realms can bring healing, meaning, and transformation.
Kristina writes and teaches from lived experience, moving through mystery as naturally as water flows across our Earth and also learning how insects, stones and stars participate in our healing.
Kristina believes joy, gratitude, and wonder are not luxuries, but that they are our privileges and our practices. And she’s here to help you remember how.
-
“In Kristina’s company it seems easy and natural to receive messages, to commune with Gaia and the invisible realms. I love her laughter and her real joy as she shares journeys to places of magic and wonder.”
“I found the paths of sound, light, touch and smell Kristina used, to awaken my sleeping senses to the world right in my own backyard and neighborhood.”
“Kristina is a treasure! She has a knack for seeing the extraordinary in the ‘ordinary.’”
-
“I know my soul by its excitement, its push up
through me, so that I must express it.
I had thought abandonment was no longer the problem.
Now I see we have all been abandoned
by the elders, the waters, the four-leggeds, the trees.
And yet we are all continually saved by them.
Read these poems and discover within yourself a new way of seeing and of
being in the world. And as you do, rejoice in the beauty and truthfulness in
Jenny D’Angelo’s remarkable poems.”
- George Capaccio
Poetry can take you somewhere you did not expect.
If something in you is curious, that is enough.
