THE CREATOR OF 27 POWERS
Laurie Wagner has been publishing books and essays, and teaching writing for the last 25 years. She is a process guru and has a genius for holding space, helping people unzip what’s inside of them, and get ink on the page.
A creative brain-stormer, she specializes in out of the box ways to tell your stories. Wild Writing is at the heart of all of her work. She travels widely, taking women on creative adventures to write and make art, as well as hosting The Wild Family, a large group of writers from around the world who write together weekly.
She is the author of Living Happily Ever After: Couples Talk about Long Term Love, and Expectations: Women Talk about Becoming a Mother.

WELCOME TO A WORLD BUILT ON TRUE STORIES
A place where, for the last 25 years, writers and creatives have come to sit in community to learn and to write. At 27 Powers, we practice dropping the facade, taking a breath and tuning out perfectionism so that we can listen to what is moving through us, so we can write, create and connect from a more soulful and honest place.
It’s a space where vulnerability and transparency are celebrated. When we can see and feel you, when you can show us your most pared down, naked human self, we can see ourselves, which is when connection happens – on the page and off.

when a poem becomes a true friend
With Poet, Writer and Teacher Naomi Shihab Nye
What moves the heart of a poet? What lines keep whispering to them long after the book is closed? What words offer comfort or nudge them toward new ways of seeing the world?
That’s what this gathering is all about.
There are a few ways to jump into the work

THE DEEPEST, MOST SIMPLE WAY TO APPROACH THE PAGE THAT I KNOW
By writing quickly, keeping the pen moving, we strengthen the muscle of our creative unconscious, that quiet voice inside of us, the one that speaks plainly, that doesn’t need to entertain or sell anything, but can bravely share their human experience.
This is deeply healing for writers who have believed that good writing lives on a ledge too high to reach, and for people who have experienced writer’s block. They want so badly for their writing to be good, that they miss the truly beautiful writing that is already there inside of them.
“I have practiced Wild Writing with Laurie on and off for over a decade and like many people, I can easily say it has changed my life.
It has been a way for me to find healing, release, community, joy, creativity, and connection. As the world has become more tumultuous and my spark for my 13-year career as a coach was waning I listened for the call of how I could best be of service. Teaching Wild Writing was the clear answer and the teaching training has been just the guidance, path-clearing, and support I’ve needed. Laurie is wisdom, experience, and compassion personified.”
