    Testimonials

    Janna, I just finished listening to your book, “Me, My Selfie, and Eye.”  I’m feeling sad now that the book has ended. You feel like a friend now, and I miss you. I understand what you mean about writing for yourself. You don’t worry about who and how others may judge you. You just put it all out there. Your honesty is gripping and heartfelt. Thank you, Janna!

    Hi Janna, I got my essay published in Exponent II, a feminist Mormon magazine. I am so freaking proud of it I cannot even see straight. I’m working on a new goal for myself: allowing myself not to be perfect in it but it’s working for me. 4-5 days in….Write an hour a day. I’m at a place of peace with my writing that it is not burdening me unnecessarily and it helps me get some actual stuff moving. Thanks for changing my life, one word at a time.

    Love, S

    The way you care for our writing group is like a chicken with huge wings spread over her chicks. You are a love magnet pulling in writers to grow into authors. It’s God’s plan and your purpose.

    Maryanne

    I’ve watched Janna build a creative community, nurturing poets and writers of all kinds. For me, Janna has been an inspiring, prolific poet whose work is approachable and aims at self discovery, reminding me to get back to it.

    Marcus

    Thank you so much. That was an incredible experience, working with you. We will definitely be in touch, and we are seriously considering the May retreat! It’s hard to describe how I’m feeling right now. Certainly excited, and very empowered and optimistic. Thank you again! You are a truly wonderful person and mentor.

    Greg

    I would like to encourage everyone to take Janna up on her free 30 minute ‘One on One’ with her. And if that feels good… and I promise it will…book a ‘Private Session’ to get you back on track from where ever you are at this point in your writing dreams…I’ve met with Janna a couple of times in the last month and experienced a profound inspirational and incredibly helpful and valuable time spent with an amazing in-tune and intuitive coach. She asked me to tell her the names of all the animals I wanted to write about! I said: “All one hundred of them?” She said, “Yes!” Without blinking an eye, Janna wrote down their names and showed me the ‘long’ list afterward :)))

    Now that’s a true COLLABORATOR :))) LOVE, LOVE, LOVE

    Susie

    Janna, I would like to thank you for an exciting class! It certainly awakened some ideas in me and gave me some direction in my writing. I love your style of acceptance and encouragement to write. I look forward to the next class.

    Z

    Your video replay from Monday’s class session, was so rich. So much inspiration, good direction and amazing feedback. I am so inspired to apply your psychic guidance of “scaffolding” and the affirmation of the “Road Map.” Thank you so so much for the session yesterday…. it was a shift that aligned with my entire life. I’m all in!

    Lynne

    Janna has opened me up to myself, in such a short period of time, not only through her poetry but also through her teaching; her example. She has shown me how to re-connect to parts of myself that I thought no longer existed. She exemplifies how memory is a doorway through which gifts to ourselves can travel. The first time I heard her poetry; she was reading it out-loud. It brought tears to my eyes and I felt a kinship with her through a memory she shared about participating in Ecstatic Dance. Somehow, I felt so heard in my own discomfort and judgement… and wanted to heal what ails me, through writing. Thank you, Janna for showing me a doorway through which I can travel. xoxo

    Emily

    “I have never previously taken a creative writing course and doing the workshop with Janna the last two months has been a new and freeing experience. Her process of offering prompts for us to respond to offers an opening to untold thoughts. Remembrances often float up in unique and creative response. I recommend it to anyone who wants to gain a conduit to their inner world and an opportunity to attempt a new creative outlet. Janna is very supportive and gives immediate feedback and encouragement.”

    Mary M.

    Hi Janna,
    I just watched your class replay and it was awesome. I’m in Phoenix now and get started on my writing. I belong to a spiritual group which is a small group. Now I have that group and I have you, my Team is starting to come together.

    Sharon

    “Janna, Thank you for tonight. I had a craptastic day at work and almost bailed, but then your words popped into my head, show up for yourself. I decided to do just that and focus on something I love and myself. Gratitude on creating this amazing space.
    Sincerely, ”

    Angela

    “Janna’s writing course is the perfect environment for me to grow as a writer and a person. Writing in spurts in response to the writing prompts she give us is exhilarating. I have been a writer for more than 40 years. Yet no other course or workshops has allowed me to dig as deeply and express so clearly as this class. More than that, as a result of several of the classes, I’ve had breakthroughs with myself and members of my family. My writing and my life have been enriched.”

    Susan B.

    “I cannot emphasize enough what a magical experience this was. I’ve dabbled in writing since I can remember and have always felt so confused and unsure. Other workshops or writing groups I’ve been involved in just didn’t quite get to the source of the issue. In mere moments working with Janna, I felt a freedom I have never felt before. I feel endless possibilities unfold before, behind, and all around me. If you have any inkling that working with Janna might be for you. Take the leap. You’ll land in a space vast and nurturing and home. P.S. I’m registering for her retreat in March as soon as I’m finished writing this review. Working with her is beyond worth every penny.”

    Anne

    Janna’s retreat is truly in the Land of Enchantment, from beautiful Santa Fe to a transformative experience. With Janna’s unique and refreshing teaching style, she invites us to cultivate a deeper connection to our words which has long lasting effects on our writing, no matter genre or style. Her deep commitment and caring for her students and their growth shines through all that she does. I am immensely grateful for attending one of her retreats and look forward to exploring new ways to connect to my writing. Invest in yourself, you won’t regret it.

    Angela

    With uncertainty in my ability to write a book, let alone even believe in my writing skills, I braved through with determination to attend Janna’s writing retreat. Janna’s teaching style helped me dive into my soul and put words to paper that I never thought possible. If you are at all uncertain, brave through and attend one of her retreats. You will love the experience and won’t regret attending.

    Vonie

    I could not recommend Janna’s weekend writing retreat enough to anyone ready to dive deep and connect to themselves, to other writers, and to their creativity. She carefully curates each group and the bonding among participants inspires breakthroughs, significant up-leveling, and shatters limitations. Janna’s tenacious dedication to serving each participant is infectious and made me feel so seen, cared for, and supported. The book I’d planned to work on when going into the weekend transformed dramatically into something else entirely- something more freeing, exciting, and motivating. I left with more confidence and far less fear and anxiety. If you’re considering signing up for one- Take the leap- you won’t regret it!

    The weekend’s writing retreat I led's been inten The weekend’s writing retreat I led's been intense and epiphanies galore. What I’m about to share is almost holy, unbelievable. Greg, who’s in his late 60s, first came to work with me in March for a 2-hour Airbnb experience. He was so moved that he came to a full weekend Writing retreat in April. At that time he was thinking of retiring in 10 years. After the March retreat weekend, he talked about maybe retiring in five years. We then continued to work together, his writing unfolded, his life became opened up in new exciting ways. His plan became two years. And now Friday, he’s here for another retreat, he told me he’s been so inspired by all of the changes in his life that have gone on since he has started writing in this way, and he’s becoming so alive and open to himself, that he believes his life is worth living now, not later, and is going to retire in two months. It truly does blow me away to be able to have this kind of impact on people’s lives. I am not sharing this to brag, I am sharing this because it’s just mind-boggling how deep and how effective and how inspirational the work is, and the depth in which it helps people’s journey and transformation in their own lives. To see themselves at last. To express themselves at last. To hold hope and healing and new purpose…
    poem by Janna Lopez such is on a sleeve of a morn poem by Janna Lopez such is

on a sleeve of a morning sun
 stillness summoned me 
into question

your eyes have been
opened
to an image of
another day

a photo album
remember those?
cracked adhesive
 pages enraptured by
a crinkled plastic sleeve?

such timeless protectors 
no longer exist

	you and me at river’s edge
	you and me a heartbeat
	you and me a glowing star 

 such repositories
for flashbulb photos
are buried in boxes
tomb closets

yes, photo album happy
such is
a nostalgic catacomb

    GREAT NEWS! I applied to become Santa Fe's Poet La GREAT NEWS! I applied to become Santa Fe's Poet Laureate. I was a top candidate. For the moment, there's an appointment "hold" because of a temporary logistical issue that's being resolved. Until the City of Santa Fe goes through the process of filling the Arts & Culture Director position, which includes overseeing the poet laureate program, they're holding off from making a permanent appointment. 

However, they appreciated my community-wide poetry initiatives that I'd proposed, and didn't want to wait, so as Option C, I'm the official ambassador for the Poet Laureate program for at least the next 6 months, until the new department director is established, and can make the formal appointment. 

I will be doing all the Poet Laureate activities as I'd proposed, which includes making poetry accessible, inspirational, and part of everyday life. This will entail working with Santa Fe's hotels and restaurants to make poetry more visible, visiting local community centers, and offering poetry sessions in schools, including New Mexico School for the Deaf. I also proposed offering a poetry workshop to police and fire responders--to explore writing and expression-- as a means for trauma release and mental health. 

I love the city of Santa Fe, our community members, and our cultural connections. It will be an honor and service to elevate the need, opportunity, and potential for extending poetry access across places, spaces, and communities. 

If you'd like me to host a poetry presentation or workshop, or want to cross-collaborate, please let me know.

"Attending Janna's class was indeed a game changer. It was the catalyst I needed in order to 'get out of my own way' and start building a relationship with my writing. One of the cornerstones in her teaching is 'community'...as a result of her workshop, I have built connections and relationships with other writers that have evolved into lifelong friendships. These connections continue to provide ongoing inspiration and the 'spark' which encourages me to keep moving forward with my project." - Cheryl
