Writing to Heal & Healing to Write

This channel is for sensitive souls who find writing helps them to heal — and who seek a little healing to confidently express themselves (to post and publish). 

I'm Daria Astara, poet, editor, healer, and author of Writing to Heal and Healing to Write: Poems of the Liminal Life. 

I spent decades keeping my deep personal poetry "for me only." Now I am publishing it in a new book (2026), here, on Patreon, and on Substack.

I discuss:
- How can we digest and heal challenging life experiences through writing? 
- How can we write about intuitive, ethereal, subtle experiences that are impossible to describe?

Here you'll find poetry readings and healing prompts to get unstuck. You’ll hear healing stories, intuitions, spiritual experiences, wisdom, and more.

If you've ever thought “I should write about that” — but didn't — you're in the right place.
