Something You’ve Been Wanting to Say
Many people carry something they want to express, but don’t know how to begin.
You might have tried writing before and stopped. Or you notice moments—something in nature, a feeling, a memory—that stay with you, but don’t quite take form.
What you’re trying to say isn’t out of reach.
It just hasn’t had a place to begin.
On April 23, Kristina Wood and Jenny D’Angelo will offer a live session on how to begin writing poetry in a way that feels natural and unforced.
They’ll guide you through a simple writing exercise and share an approach to poetry that begins with attention, rather than trying to be “good” at writing.
You’ll also listen to a short reflection from Andrew Harvey on poetry as a way of engaging with wonder in what is real.
Poetry can be a simple way to return to something more direct, more personal, and more alive.
You don’t need to know how.
You just need a place to begin.
By the end of the session, you’ll have experienced a way of beginning—and get a preview of Kristina and Jenny’s upcoming 4-week course, Discovering Your Poetic Voice, for those who want to continue.
A few words from Jenny:

“A poem begins in delight and ends in wisdom.”
- Poet Robert Frost
Through This Session, You May Begin To…
Find a way into writing that feels natural and unforced
Discover how poetry can emerge from your own experience
Begin to trust what you notice, rather than second-guess it
Put words to something that hasn’t yet been expressed
Sense whether you want to continue in a more supported space
This Is For You If…
You feel something you want to express, and don’t yet know how to begin
You’ve written before, and want a way back into it that feels real
You’re drawn to a quieter, more honest way of writing
You write already, and want a more grounded or meaningful way to approach it
You’re curious what might happen if you gave it a place to begin
If this speaks to you, you’re welcome to join us.
“Poetry lifts the veil from the hidden beauty of the world, and makes familiar objects be as if they were not familiar.”
- Poet Percy Bysshe Shelley

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.”
