The MoonTribe group of pre-teen and teen girl poets have been writing with Meredith Heller every week for four years. With her writing invitations and guidance, the girls write from their own experiences as they explore nature, their senses, and their thoughts and feelings. They learn to tap their imaginations, trust their creative instincts, and build their writing and communication skills, as well as the self-confidence to express themselves with greater clarity and depth. MoonTribe classes cultivate a natural sense of belonging to a community of friends who share a passion for creative writing and encourage each other to dig deep and to shine.
Meredith Heller is a performing poet and singer/songwriter and a California Poet in the Schools, she teaches poetry and creative writing classes for teen girls, coaches private voice and songwriting, leads MoonTribe, a Write of Passage Nature Program, and hosts Siren Song, a women’s singer/songwriter night. Her poetry has been published by Rebelle Society, We’Moon, The Aquarian, Avocet, and in Women, Their Names, & The Stories They Tell.
