Regina tingle
travels, teaches, writes, retreats
Regina’s wide smile and open heart prompted me to write my stories down. She teaches her students about trust, and truth, and passion. Around her, I knew my work would be heard and held and hallowed.

The Creative Sabbatical
Writers often dream of holing themselves up in a glorious hideaway, nothing but time and empty pages sprawling out before them. Fantastic as that seems, it's easy to get distracted, even when there are no distractions.
Especially if there are no distractions.
So why not start where you are? Make time for your writing in your regular life. Or, if you do plan on going away, set up a support system before you go so that you aren't all alone. Being isolated in order to write might sound dreamy but the reality can be crippling and overwhelming and even lead to creative paralysis if you don't put proper supports in place for yourself.
Together, we will outline deadlines and goals over a specific time frame so that by the end of it, you have something to show for your time.
​
This is a great option for those who are considering signing up for a retreat or if you've just returned from one.
An effective way to kick-start your writing or continue your flow.

Online Writing Support
I've yet to meet a writer who knows his or her own brilliance.
Which is why writing with the support of others is essential.
It's the only way we can keep plucking along at our keyboards and remain sane.
Regina knocks you out with a radiant beauty that is way more than skin deep. Her vibe is friendly and laid back but her writing is down right fierce. Both a warrior and a goddess, a sentinel and a sage – this girl can anchor down and hold a safe place for your deepest truths and if flights of fancy are your thing, she can help you to fly! Regina’s an enthusiastic gypsy, a wise world traveler and an accomplished dream maker whose warm, vibrant smile is like a bright beacon welcoming you back home – to yourself and the stories that have gathered in the temples of your sweet, vulnerable heart.
– Karen Kenney ~ Writer, Speaker, Workshop Leader, Spiritual Mentor, Gateless Teacher, Potty Mouth, Yoga Teacher & Host of the “The Yoga Show with Karen”

'Write Anyway' is a great way for me to write with a weekly deadline, and to share writing that I wouldn't otherwise be able to, or wanted to. In this group I know that my writing is in good hands and the feedback I have received has been really loving and helpful. I was also surprised how wonderful it has been to receive another person's writing. I feel extremely honored to read a text someone has written that has never been published anywhere, and to find ways of giving supportive feedback. Both writing and reading in the Write Anyway group are having a positive impact on my writing work, and now I feel I am part of a group, not just working alone.
—Sari Sironen, writer and yoga teacher
