Intuitive Writing
To let our creative well guide our words
Writing in the seam, between the contained structure of projects and books, and the deeper open ocean that is our creative well.
Open up to the Power of Intuition for Writing
Untangle Creative blocks and knots
Knots, blocks and creative problems are an inherent part of the creative journey and writing process.
Without them, there often wouldn’t be growth, writing, or inspiration to create.
They may subtly run in the background, generative in their very existence, but never truly finding a satisfying outcome or solution. They may also block, or put at the standtill, the writing process in its entirety. Or it may simply be a new creative problem in your project, looking to find a new way to be untangle.
Session 1 -
From Creative Knot
to Creative Know
This first session focuses on unlocking a creative or writing block, expanding the source of your voice, and/or on finding a new solution to a creative problem, in your current project.Workshop’s voices
“This was so beautiful. That was quite intense, but very helpful with the unblocking. Thank you so much for this.”
“Thank you so much for holding space for us. It was so nice to connect in this way and discover more about myself and my creativity! Looking forward to more of this!”
There is another voice inside of you. We all hold within, a deep inner well, a deeper self, another vibration, a wilder imagination, often associated with the subconscious, or the higher self, which expresses itself in dreams, in intuitive whispers, in gut instincts, in visions perhaps, in a rush of inspiration. This intuition, this deeper voice, is always present within us, at our core and heart, and can be harnessed, as a writing and creative tool, to use and write into our creative processes, books, fiction and writing projects.
Intuition for Fiction Writing
Using the inner voice, unknowing of the story that wanted to unfold, I wrote my first book, L’Envol, as well as the first draft of my novel The Antarctic Bridge, by only using the inner voice, the intuition, this deep inner well, without ever bringing in the rational mind into the mix.
Session 2 -
A Story Surrender
In this session, we will learn to let our words and stories unfold and unravel, without judgement or criticism, to let another voice, a magic, a more alive, inspired and original creation find its way into our work. This intuition technique can be used in your journalling process, in non-fiction, and of course in fiction.Intuition for the Artist, and the Writer’s journey
Everything we learn in writing, we may apply to our lives.
The power of our intuitions, of dialoguing with the inner voice, extend beyond writing, and can be applied in all areas of our lives.
This is an important modality for the well-being of the artist, as well a guiding force for the writer’s journey.
With so many unknowns, why not try and lean into guidance, stemming from beyond the traditional and well-trodden paths? What if there was another way to live and be?
Session 3 -
A Writing Journey of one’s own
In this session, we will focus on your own writing journey and artist's path, developing your dialoguing capacity with your inner voice, as well as invite you to courageously follow your intuition's guidance. Your writing journey, your artist path and your life is your own. Why not choose it and live it? Intuition, in service of editing, redrafting, or restructuring
How can we use a deeply "irrational" tool, the intuition, in service of very structured processes, and craft-oriented stages of the work, such as editing one's work, working on the following drafts, or completely restructuring a novel?
At these stages, our rational mind is usually an ally to find solutions to creative problems arising in our work. With our experience, our knowledge of the craft, our problem-solving abilities, our inspiration from the works of fiction we have read, from the stories we know and love, this is generally a good way to tackle problems.
Oftentimes though, this might not be enough, satisfying, and requires another part of our creative self to take the lead. Intuition can lead us to more creative, more original, more soulful, more efficient ways to work at these different stages.
Session 4 -
The Creative Couple
In this session, we will learn how to place the intuition as leader of your writing team, so your story, your book, your voice can find its own expression, in lieu of repeating old tricks. The rational mind and intuition can work hand-in-hand, in drafting, redrafting, editing and restructuring.
Integration, Questions and Feedback
The power of intuition for writing can be used for one specific time, need or book in your creative journey. It is also a lifelong journey of devotion and remembering, of this dormant power, creative and life tool we all have access to.
Practice, deepening, coming back to the dialogue with the inner voice will allow for your intuitive and creative power to develop, and grow.
We might forget this tool, we might be fearful of it, we might be disappointed in it, or we might completely fall head over heels with it.T
Final session -
Weaving
I’m eager to hold this integration session, for us to practice, and come back to the page, for you to ask any questions you’d like, or to receive any feedback on your intuitive writing. I’ll also provide practices for you to carry on on your intuitive writing journey. This is an open and intuitive session, that will be curated to the individual’s or groups need.How to take part in these intuitive writing workshops?
This series of five intuitive writing workshops is designed to be lived through as a continuation, in this particular sequential order, or from bottom to top, or as individual sessions upon request, depending on your needs, and wishes.
These can be facilitated online, or in-person, for group work or for individuals, in English or French. For in-person work, I am based in Tahiti, French Polynesia, but I am happy to travel, in the Pacific and beyond, including Hawaii, Australia, New-Zealand, and the Pacific Coast.

Intuitive Writing Workshops
- Get in touch
With this form, let me know what intuitive writing workshops you’d like to receive, what is your writing experience, and anything you’d like to share, or ask.
The Tropic Bird Healing Session
Sometimes, your writing journey, your artist’s path calls for a healing, a deeper connection with your art work, before or alongside your learning journey.
If you feel the workshops are not the right space for you to connect to your deeper creative self, or if you require more support, healing, or guidance, I have created The Tropic Bird Healing Session.
Based on my work with dozens of artists, my own art and writing experience, and my shamanic healing practice, we co-create together a healing ceremony and an intuitive connection, for your art and your inner artist, for this exact moment in time. You can find out more about the Tropic Bird Healing Session on my Shamanic Healing Page, or contact me directly to find out more.
An intertwined Intuition and Writing journey
Intuition and Writing have long been intertwined in my own artist path, long before I knew it. Today, they are interdependent parts of my experience of the world, which communicate, grow, create and learn together.
My first creation, the French travel blog Voyages et Vagabondages, encompassed more than 600 intuitively written articles. Then, I was lucky enough to encounter the process of dialoguing with my inner voice, my intuition, through Bella Lively’s work.
This deep healing process, led me to encounter my own writing, voice, style, structure and craft.
After experimenting with poems, screenplays, intuitive film-making with IMIQ - a climate collapse short film - I wrote and published my first book L’Envol, a healing memoir and story,
entirely through the voice of the intuition.
Next, I used intuition to write my first novel, The Antarctic Bridge.
You can find out more about the novel and its writing process here.
Today, the intuition, or the inner voice, is as much a tool, a mode of expression, and my writing voice. I’d love to walk this path of discovery alongside you, hold you in this journey, and be a witness to how and what the inner voice would like to express through you.
