With Corina Andronache
Welcome to this Holy Ground
From the beginning,
We have been with you.
We are the ancient ones
And we remember.
We say listen.
We are the bones of your grandmother’s grandmothers.
We have returned now.
We say you cannot forget us now
We say we are with you and you are us.
Remember
Remember.
~Patricia Reis, The Ancient Ones~
~Walk like you have thousands of ancestors behind you~
Walking. I am listening to a deeper way. Suddenly all my ancestors are behind me. Be still, they say. Watch and listen. You are the result of the love of thousands.
~Linda Hogan~
This Writing Atelier is a space to:
♦ Reclaim your voice through the wisdom of ancient women.
♦ Awaken forgotten stories buried within your lineage.
♦ Stand in your power by walking alongside queens, warriors, priestesses, and rebels.
♦ Write your truth with the fire and resilience of those who shaped history.
Through the legacies of Viking women, we will:
♦ Unearth the wisdom of fierce and visionary women.
♦ Grasp how they endured, resisted, and ruled with unwavering courage.
♦ Discover how their stories ignite a powerful spark within us today.
♦ Craft our own truths, inspired by their resilience and fiery spirit.
Can you imagine?
♦ Walking the sacred landscapes of the past, not as an outsider, but as one who belongs.
♦ Feeling the pulse of history as you write your own narrative, entwined with theirs.
♦ Breaking free from silence, as your words rise like waves—strong, relentless, undeniable.
With each session, you will step into the lives of four extraordinary women—ancient mothers, leaders, mystics, warriors, and change-makers.
Their footsteps will guide your pen, their courage will light your way & their voices will amplify your own.

My Approach to Writing
I don’t know how to work on writing. I just write.
First, I investigate the substance of my soul.
I sit with my wounds and injuries and reject all labels and name calling.
I free myself of imposed social and cultural dogma.
I give myself permission to feel the depths of my emotions.
I enter through poetic crevices of my heart. Everything I encounter is ink in my pen.
I unfold.
I light myself on fire. I burn on the altar of creativity.
I remember who I am.
And then.
I begin to write.
Not to become better. But myself!

Kind Words I Received
“Anyone considering working with Corina will find a treasure within themselves through her gentle yet powerful guidance! I absolutely LOVED Ink & Essence Enneagram Writing Atelier I experienced with her! Corina weaves pure magic! Thank you! I feel you have delivered me back to a deep hidden place within, somewhere that had been caved in! You really are an archaeologist [of the Soul]. I love this group so much and everyone here who is sharing this journey! I really blossomed within the space of our Writing Atelier.”
Rebekah Boyle-Columbia
“I feel proud of the pieces I created in Ink & Essence Writing Atelier, and feel more confident to access these writing states moving forward, too. Corina holds such a deep and potent s pace, her generous soul essence of care, nurture, and truly, truly seeing you is a beautiful thing; it is her gift, and in turn I received such a gift in the mirror she held up for me. The connection with the other women baring their souls is so wonderful too. I highly recommend a writing atelier with Corina!“
Lynley Erin-New Zealand
“Corina created a beautiful space for us to explore and once the stage was set my writing came easy, as if something was unlocked. She took care of each of us in class and brought out our best versions, our deep versions. It was truly a magical experience coming together to write and share in real time. It was a time to heal, to gain wisdom, and it certainly empowered me to write from the heart.”
Rachelle Wheatley-Canada
“For decades, I’d been drawn to writing, yet had remained stuck, blocked, and unmotivated. When Corina posted her online course offering, I felt an inexplicable pull to sign up for the atelier. This course was the catalyst that helped me break free. Through the utilization of the enneagram as a lens, I gained profound insight into the stories I’d been telling myself. This course has been a gift that keeps on giving, offering a depth of healing, compassion, and soul connection that I feel blessed to have experienced. I’m eternally grateful to Corina and the talented writers who came together to make this soul excavation possible. Corina masterfully crafted a safe, nurturing environment, allowing wisdom and stories to flow forth effortlessly. I eagerly anticipate continuing to uncover my deepest stories through Corina’s future offerings. Thank you to Corina, and all the other soul-deep ladies from around the globe who participated, for this transformative and powerful journey. Your medicine was well-received!“
Jennifer Clinton-Canada
“I was fortunate enough to be in Ink & Essence Writing Atelier with Corina , and found the space where my soul can speak it true essence. It’s given me confidence and courage to write what wants to come out –rather than what I think others want to hear. You can not know what others need, you just trust that the message you have have will touch some, move some, and heal some. It’s healing me, and it allows my wisdom to move in the world, which gives my life meaning. I will follow you always. I appreciate all your encouragement, could not have got there without you! We are all talented, its a matter of finding our truth I feel.”
