Lissa M. Cowan

When Lissa was 30 years old, she became ill with endometriosis, a debilitating chronic disease. She began to see a therapist, got back to practicing yoga and meditation, and most importantly, she returned to writing—a passion of hers since she was a kid. This creative leap back to writing caused her to want to share the healing qualities with others of putting pen to paper. Her signature 21 Day Writing Meditation course has been rated a top art and writing course on DailyOM. She has also developed creative writing courses for a Canadian university where she taught hundreds of students the secret sauce of compelling story telling. She believes that writing has the power to heal, reveal, and help us to find our centres—our unique and wondrous selves.
