She embraces the blessing of being born with a poet’s soul and the opportunity to run wild in the meadows of her youth. Without a writing degree or teaching credit, a long list of publications, not even a chapbook, she tributes her tenacity to keep writing to her desire to discover, understand and express the complexities of life. Through quiet reflection, paired with the willingness of a scribe and her love for language, she engages in the irresistible call to tackle the challenge of listening more deeply to what is longing to be accepted, resolved or released through the gift of composing a poem.</span></span></div><div style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; word-break: break-word; font-family: "Work Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.5; text-align: left; letter-spacing: 0px; direction: ltr;"><br></div><div style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; word-break: break-word; font-family: "Work Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.5; text-align: left; letter-spacing: 0px; direction: ltr;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif;">Disappearing for an afternoon into the lines of a poem are her greatest joy…..when she is not offering Tarot consultations, facilitating healing groups, digging in the garden, creating collage art, or cooking up soup for groups and tending to the many responsibilities at Spirit House Center for Attitudinal Healing, a non-profit she co- founded with her life partner, Ron Nadeau, in 2007 where they live, in Fort Bragg.</span></div><div style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; word-break: break-word; font-family: "Work Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.5; text-align: left; letter-spacing: 0px; direction: ltr;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif;"><br>She has been fortunate, over the years, to experience ways of honoring the muse in workshops with Martin Prechtel, Dorianne Laux, Joe Millar, Ellen Bass, Stephanie Marlis and Marie Howe. She has seen her words on the pages of an obscure journal in North Carolina; a Shamanic publication, Sacred Reflections, no longer in print and once had a poem published in the online New Millennium Writings that garnered her an honorable mention. Her work has also been presented by actors performing in the northern california traveling poetry show, " Rumi’s Caravan. “ Her latest publication of her poem “Prayer” was requested by the on-line Prayer Project. She has had a poem or two circulated on Larry Robinson’s "Poem a Day” email publication and will have a poem published in the upcoming collection “Spirit of Place” featuring women poets of Mendocino County. <br><br>She writes with grit and transparency about love and loss, the challenge of parenting and dysfunctional families, women’s issues, and the dilemma of being a “spirit in a spacesuit.” (crediting Sean O’Laoire with that term) Her writing is appreciated for its accessibility, vulnerability and humor. <br><br>Tonijean has been a featured reader at poetry events in Mendocino and Point Arena and has also appeared at the Marin Shakespeare venue in San Rafael reading her original work. She especially enjoys offering her poems at a yearly event, Kaleidoscope, a music and poetry offering, held at Spirit House, in the spring. </span></div><div style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; word-break: break-word;
