Writing + Author Circle: From Seed to Story

During our first focus block, you are invited to either settle into your own work or step into a guided circle centered on writing, publishing, and bringing your message to life.

Lately, many in our Seeds community have been asking for support, connection, and guidance around writing. Whether it is the dream of beginning a book, a manuscript in progress, or a published work you long to share more widely, this space is for you.

We are so grateful to welcome two incredible women who have helped bring many stories to life, including my own.

About Donna Mazzitelli

Donna is a writing coach, editor, and hybrid publisher who walks alongside authors at every stage of the journey, from the first spark of an idea to a fully edited and published manuscript.

With a deep trust in both process and intuition, she creates space for writers to uncover the beauty of their stories and bring them into the world with honesty and heart.

About Veronica Yager

Veronica is the founder of Journey Bound Publishing and a trusted guide for authors bringing their books into the world.

For over 16 years, she has helped writers turn ideas into beautifully published books and meaningful pathways for those words to reach the people who need them most.

She walks closely with entrepreneurs, creatives, and mission-driven leaders, helping them bring their voice and story forward with clarity, purpose, and impact. Her work spans idea to publication to sustainable sharing, including thoughtful guidance around modern tools like AI.

Together, they will share a bit of their story and then open the space for those who feel led to share.

If you have a book that is:
• a seed of a dream
• somewhere in process
• or already published

you will have the opportunity to share what you need.

They will offer real-time coaching and guidance in a mastermind-style space so that everyone in the room can learn and be encouraged together.

You will also have the opportunity to follow up with either or both of them for your own project in the days to come.

And if you are simply curious, wondering if there might be a book inside of you, you are most welcome to join the circle.

Come sit with them.
Bring your questions, your ideas, your half-formed dreams, or simply your curiosity.

All are welcome.

Guided Creativity Session: Painting Along with Words

Wow, wow, wow… get ready for something really special.

During our time together, we’ll have a guided creative session led by our longtime sister, Sylvia McGuire — artist, spiritual director, and kindred spirit.

This will be a spacious, come-as-you-are creative experience woven right into the heart of the day. A chance to slow down, play, and create in community … Painting Along with Words, as something unique-to-you begins to take shape.

Sylvia will have acrylic paints available, inviting you to create something personal… a takeaway piece that can serve as a living reminder of this day — of what stirred, connected, and came alive within you here.

And if you’d like, bring along a poem or two that’s captured your attention as of late, along with any magazines or books you wouldn’t mind cutting or tearing into — we will weave in some collage-style creativity too.

No pressure. No perfection. Just presence, expression, and a little bit of beautyFULL unfolding.

You may linger the whole time… others may pop in for a few minutes. However you engage, it’s all welcome.

Some samples from Sylvia of her own Painting Along with Words:
