In 2015, Barbara was longlisted for the CBC Poetry Prize for a selection of Poems from The Eves in the Trees?

Current Writing Projects

Great news! I recently completed my manuscript of poetry The Eves in the Trees, and it is being sent out to prospective publishers. The collection explores themes of solitude, sensuality, spirituality, loss, motherhood, and connection with the natural world. Stay tuned, I have some upcoming readings planned online and in person!

I've also been busy writing business plans and teachers' guides for new clients and collaborators. I look forward to returning to my own writing projects this spring. My next project involves adapting my academic research on Learning Through Spiritual Encounters into a creative non-fiction book for mainstream audiences.
