​Hello, 

​

I began Inksite during the 2022-2023 IFS Leadership Fellowship. IFS, or Internal Family Systems, is a therapeutic model developed by Richard Schwartz. It helps us listen to our many inner parts, which are often our thoughts, inner voices, feelings, and bodily sensations, with compassion.

IFS teaches that beneath all the chatter is a core Self, a calm, compassionate, and creative center. For writers and dreamers, I soon realized that this way of working opens a deeper dialogue with the imagination, memory, and the unconscious, allowing stories and dreams to unfold more freely. I wanted to bring this idea to the creative community I love working with. 

​

I was already facilitating creative workshops, since 2016, I had been facilitating workshops for Dr. Tsai’s Awareness, Courage and Love (ACL) as a Westchester, NY chapter leader, and I had my Dream Circle, I also facilitating creative expressive workshops, from Biblioterapia, to Narrative Medicine via Meet-up and SoulCollage, but Inksite was to hold all of my creative offerings in one place.

​

Over time, Inksite slowly evolved into my commitment to dream work, art, and writing through the lens of IFS and NARM (Neuro-Affective Relational Model). IFS teaches me that every inner voice has wisdom, even the ones shaped by pain. NARM keeps me anchored in the present, helping me meet those parts not with analysis, but with compassion and connection. Together, they offer a pathway to remember — not what is wrong with us, but what is still whole.

​

It made sense, a place where we gather to share, dream, journal, and create.

​

Dreams come like visitors. They leave signs and symbols. At Inksite, we give them form. We write them down. We draw, we cut and paste, collage them, and we listen. We let the figures speak for themselves. This is how they guide us.

​

At Inksite, I hold the Dream Circle. One is private and the other is public. As an Amherst Writers & Artists (AWA) facilitator, I also host a writing circle.  In most groups, we work with what arises; using bibliotherapy, we use books, poems, and images that arise in the night.  The space welcomes all of you, every part, every hidden voice. It is a pause, a chance to hear what waits beneath.

​

Most recently, I joined Substack where I have an Inksite Newsletter helping reconnect with their inner world, through writing, dreams and mindful awareness, so they create from that place within that is a live and whole. Join my substack.

What You’ll Find

Dreams

• Dream Circles
  Join a small, supportive group where we explore dreams as living images. Together we share, reflect, and engage with dream figures—opening pathways for insight, creativity, and connection.

• Expressive Dreamwork
  Bring your dreams to life through collage, poetry, drawing, and storytelling. Expressive dreamwork allows symbols and images to unfold beyond words, guiding self-discovery in creative ways.

• Dream Journaling
  Keep a personal archive of your dreams through guided journaling practices. You’ll record dreams, explore their meaning, and create a living record of your inner world.

Writing & Expression

• AWA Writing & Dream Stories 
  A monthly writing circle using the Amherst Writers & Artists (AWA) method and creating Dream stories, poems or art.  We write from dreams and images, discover new stories, and share in a community that honors every voice.

• Healing Narratives
  Writing supported by Reiki and Healing Touch. These sessions combine creative expression with gentle energy practices, opening space for renewal, insight, and healing.

• Narrative Medicine/Bibliotherapy  
  Reading as healing. We turn to poems, myths, and stories that echo the language of dreams, offering mirrors, companions, and inspiration for the journey inward.

How We Gather

Inksite is seasonal. It moves with the year. Some sessions are prompts to reflection posted here, others are on Zoom and others in person. Some months I offer two workshops, some months four. The circles are small but require a minimum of four.  

​

We meet in groups. I also meet one-on-one.  At Inksite, you can build your own dream archive, your own personalized dream dictionary, rooted in your cultural experience or learn about dream symbols and archetypes. You can share it in a circle or you may be an observer.

​

This is the work: to listen, to dream, to draw or write, to make from what rises in the night.
