“The Lab is a place that releases synchronicities and dreams. From speechlessness to speech. From speech to writing. At each encounter, the world changes places. Really moving Lab – an ancestral prayer.” -Tyr Peret, Psychologist and Translator

“The LAB is a liberating and emancipatory methodology. It encourages writing, the protagonism of personal narrative. Without separating it from the collective, it strengthens the feeling of belonging and common-unity.” -Jacqueline Baumgratz, Pedagogue, Artist and Storyteller

Open to writers in any genre. An immersive creative moment.

Memoir, biography, autobiography, fiction, autofiction, scripts, theatre plays, poems, performance, hybrid texts, experimental writing, children/youth literature, fairy tales, you name it!

I help you achieve your creative goals and needs.
To express your words in the world.
To express your world with words.
