Devoted Page
A Restful Writing Space for Leaders.
The page is a sacred place. It's where we reflect, restore, and remember. It's where we rest.
You're building something meaningful in the world.
The work. The impact. The contribution that only you can make.
And still, there's something you haven't tended yet.
The thing that lives in your journal. The words that wake you at 3am. The book you've been called to write but haven't given yourself permission to begin.
You know what it is. You just haven't created space for it.
Until now.
Devoted Page is a transformational online membership space for leaders who know their work in the world requires tending their inner life.
We gather online 11 times a year for 90 minutes of guided rest and held writing time.
No critique. No workshops on "how to write a bestseller." No performance.
Just you, the page, and a circle of peers who understand that writing isn't about adding another achievement to your resume.
Writing is how you remember who you are underneath everything you're building.
What you're craving is in this room.
Permission to claim the identity of "writer" without having published a book, won an award, or proven yourself to anyone
Structure that holds you accountable to showing up though without the pressure of deadlines, submissions, or anyone's expectations. The dates and times to rest and write will already be on your calendar for the year.
Witnessing without critique, because you need to be seen for the work itself, not judged, fixed, or improved. That's not this membership.
Community of peers who won't ask "when will you be done?" or "how will you monetize it?". Here we simply understand that writing is part of your soul work.
Rest woven into the practice, because you're tired of creating from depletion and you know there's another way.
Devotion to the word for its own sake, separate from outcome, publication, or anyone's approval.
This is what Devoted Page offers. And this is what you won't find anywhere else.

The year unfolds seasonally.
We move through Clear, Clarify, Create, Celebrate; the same framework at the heart of Devoted To Rest® and Pause, Rest, Lead®
WINTER (January-March):
CLEAR
Clear space for the words that want to come. Release the inner critic. Make room.
SUMMER/FALL (August-October):
CREATE
Create from devotion. Build sustainable practice. Stay with what's difficult on the page and still find ease.
July: No session. Summer rest.
SPRING (April-June):
CLARIFY
Ask the questions in your writing that lead to deeper truth. Find what's yours to say and how you want to say it through exploration and play.
FALL/WINTER (November-December):
CELEBRATE
Celebrate the practice itself. Harvest what emerged. Honor your becoming.
Here's how it works.
We meet monthly (11 sessions per year)
One 90-minute gathering per month
No session in July (summer rest and write on your own).
Every session includes deep rest and space to write.
Replay will be available for 30 days after session.
This is live, embodied practice. Presence required. What happens in the circle stays in the circle.
By the end of the year, you'll have written. You'll have rested. And you'll have built a devotional relationship with words that isn't about output. It's about remembering who you are. It's about seeing what wants to rest on the page. It's about deep listening, contemplation, and restoration through creating simply because you can and want to.
This is what you won't find in Devoted Page.
No critique or feedback on your writing. We witness. We don't workshop.
No instruction on craft, structure, or technique. You know how to write. You want space to do it.
No pressure to publish, pitch, or produce. This is writing as practice, as devotion, as sacred, as enough simply for the love, desire, and joy of it because why not?
If you're looking for a course, a critique group, or a path to publication, those are amazing! This just isn't that. This is space. This is rest. This is community. This is writing for the sake of it.
This is what you WILL find in Devoted Page.
A monthly space to write not talk about writing, not plan to write, not read about writing. To write.
Rest woven into the practice you’ve created from depletion before and you know it's not sustainable.
Peers who get it who understand that writing isn't about adding another credential, it's about soul work, deep listening, presence.
Guest facilitators throughout the year sought after rest leaders, writers, contemplatives who hold rest and writing as sacred practices + bring diverse approaches to rest and creativity.
Witnessing without judgment we affirm that your words deserve to be held as sacred as they emerge, not critiqued into shape.
A 6-month minimum commitment devotion to practice deepens over time, and you need at least two seasons to feel the transformation.
This is writing as sacred practice. Rest as creative fuel. Community as witness.
Who this is for.
Devoted Page is for leaders who know their most impactful work requires another way
✓ You're doing meaningful work and you feel the pull to write as part of that practice
✓ You have notebooks full of ideas, drafts started and sometimes abandoned, words that won't stay quiet
✓ You need accountability to show up, paired with the freedom to write whatever wants to come
✓ You feel rest as sacred practice, writing as devotion, and both as necessary
✓ You want to be witnessed without being workshopped, held without being fixed
✓ You're ready to create simply because you want to and that is enough
You might be:
A leader who journals every morning and knows there's something wanting more space to come through.
A founder building something meaningful who processes through writing and craves more space to do that
Someone doing deep work in the world who writes poetry in the margins.
A speaker who knows your clearest thinking happens on the page.
Someone who loves words and takes their writing quietly serious
You might have a specific project (a book, essays, a collection) or you might just know that writing is part of how you make sense of your life and your work. It’s a place you restore.
Either way, you belong here.
Guest Teachers
Writers who center rest. Rest Leaders who hold words as sacred.
You'll experience diverse voices, approaches, and teachings throughout the year.

What makes this different from everything else.
You've probably tried:
Writing workshops that taught you craft you already know.
Critique groups that picked apart your work until you stopped wanting to share it.
Programs that promised to "get you published" when what you really needed was permission to write.
Wellness memberships that offered rest practices completely separate from your creative work.
Devoted Page is different because:
We honor writing and rest as inseparable practices.
We witness without workshopping.
We hold the practice as sacred which is separate from outcome.
We rest first, then write, always.
We're led by someone who understands nervous system, soul, creativity, devotional practice, and the courage it takes to claim space to both rest and write when your work in the world is already asking so much of you.
