Debbie Hynes
Story Gatherer, Writing Guide, Retreat Host

For as long as I can remember, I have been writing things down to make sense of the world. My very first journal was a page-a-day Care Bear diary with a lock and key —and yes, I still have it.

 

Through nearly three decades in media, and the wild, joyful ride of raising three spirited teenagers, writing by hand has remained my way back to centre. I have found when pen meets paper, the racing chatter in my mind softens and I can untangle what everyday life keeps knotted tight.

​​

That is why I gather people and help them get back to writing on paper by hand. Whether we’re sitting around my table with a warm cup of tea or walking along a trail, the invitation is always the same: leave the rush at the door, breathe, and let the page do its quiet, restoring magic.

​

I’m still writing my own story, one day at a time. Pull up a chair, and come write yours beside me.

​

Feel free to reach out if you'd like to collaborate or want to share your thoughts. 

 

I always have time for a good story.
