The Words that Called Me Back to Life: Writing as Medicine, Writing as Prayer

In this article, I share the journey that inspired the creation of Writing a Path to Your Sacred Center. It’s the story of how sacred guidance led me to develop a course designed to help you reconnect with your voice, your truth, and your sense of belonging.

Are you heartbroken by a world on fire?

Or quietly unraveling inside your own life?          

Do you feel overwhelmed, numb, untethered, or unsure how you even got here?

You’re not alone.

In times like these—when both the world and our inner lives can feel like too much—it’s easy to shut down.

But what if your voice—your true, soul-guided voice—holds a way through?

When writing becomes a sacred practice—guided by your body, the Earth, and your soul—it becomes a path home.

To your center.
To your clarity.
To your aliveness.

Even when everything feels uncertain, there is still a source of vitality and knowing within you, waiting to speak.

If you feel shaky, vulnerable, or undone—know this: nothing is wrong with you.

These are signs that your humanity is still intact in a world that often tries to strip it away.

Feeling deeply is not a weakness. It’s a sign that your heart still works. That you’re still listening.

Sacred Invitation

This is not just a writing course.

It’s a return—to your voice, your body, your belonging.
It’s a slow, sacred remembering of the truth that lives in your bones.
It’s a prayer written in your own words, from the place in you that has never been broken.

Whether you are in a season of heartbreak, transition, or quiet longing, Writing a Path to Your Sacred Center offers a refuge—a place to speak what is true, to listen inwardly, and to offer your voice as medicine for yourself and the world.

✨What You’ll Experience

Over six live, 3-hour mini-retreats, you will:

  • A nourishing writing practice that reconnects you with your soul and restores your inner compass
  • Language for your longing, your grief, and your hope—so your heart doesn’t have to carry it all alone
  • Embodied rituals and sacred pauses that help you hear what your soul is trying to say
  • Communion with the Earth, the silence, and something greater—so you can feel supported, not separate
  • Experience writing as a kind of magic—where unexpected beauty, clarity, and joy can emerge

This is a practice of presence, not performance. A path of devotion, not perfection.

Join a 3-month journey to reclaim your voice, reconnect with your inner wisdom, and remember that all life—including yours—is sacred.

Writing a Path To Your Sacred Center is not about escaping the pain—it’s about making a sacred space to be with it. To listen. To rest. To remember what still matters. Through writing, radical self care, and deep self-listening, you’ll find your way back to your voice—not as a performance, but as a truth-telling. You’ll reconnect with your creative spirit, with the divine, and with the hope that still flickers beneath the surface.

Because even in heartbreak, there is beauty. Even in the brokenness, there is light. And you still have something to offer.

Your voice matters now more than ever.

What You’ll Receive

Writing as a Sacred Practice of Remembering

Through playful, generative writing practices, soul-deep prompts, and shared presence, you’ll remember how to listen to the wisdom within you. You’ll write not just to express—but to heal, to connect, to belong, and to stand rooted in love.

By the end of this journey, you may:

  • Feel more grounded and alive as you return to your body, your breath, and your own inner sanctuary
  • Reconnect with your true voice—not the one shaped by fear or burnout, but the voice of your soul
  • Transform grief, longing, or overwhelm into clarity, insight, and creative flow
  • Let your writing reveal the path that is yours alone, guided by inner knowing and sacred purpose
  • Be held in a community of fellow seekers, remembering that healing is not meant to happen alone
  • Remember that your voice is part of something greater—a living force that stands for love, life and sacred resistance
  • Know in your bones that you are held by the Earth, by Spirit, and by a living web of connection

Even now—especially now—your voice matters.

About Debora Seidman

Debora Seidman has been leading transformative writing workshops since 1996, blending creative writing with personal growth, spiritual practice, and deep healing. A former acupressurist and longtime student of the body-mind connection, Debora’s own journey with chronic illness has taught her to honor the body as both teacher and guide—and writing as powerful medicine.

She created Writing a Path to Your Sacred Center as an evolution of her earlier work, Writing the Prayer of Your Life, which was originally born from sacred guidance received in the lands of New Mexico. This new offering is explicitly designed to meet the intense challenges and opportunities of these times, helping others reclaim their voice and creativity through soulful writing practices and radical self-care.

Over the past two decades, Debora has developed this work into programs centered on radical self-care, reclaiming the sacred power of our voices, and engaging writing as a source of strength and clarity in uncertain times.

Debora is an award-winning playwright, poet, and fiction writer whose teaching is rooted in the body, the earth, and the heart. She believes our truest voice emerges when we learn to listen from the inside out. In her own life, when illness brought her to her knees, she returned again and again to the healing wisdom of the heart. It is from this place that she teaches and guides—with humility, devotion, and deep respect for the voice in each of us that longs to speak.
