Something changes when writing loses its wonder

Does this sound like you?

You carry stories that feel too tender for traditional workshops, where grief is underlined and "workshopped" without considering the human heart behind the words.

Your creative spirit stirs when you think about writing but the pressure to produce "publishable" work has turned what once was joy into another task to perfect.

You hesitate to share your work because somewhere along the way, you internalized the idea that your stories aren't important enough to tell – or that you're not the right person to tell them.

You long to write in a way that honors your whole self – your culture, your mother tongue, your lived experience – but feel like you need to translate your work into something more "conventional."

You sense there's a truer way to write, one that connects with your body, your breath, and your entire being but most writing workshops keep you disconnected from this deeper wisdom.

But what if there was a space where you could nurture the creative life you want?

Your poems deserve to be

Your poetry deserves a different kind of community

'Wildflowers Writing Community is a fundamental part of my self-care routine.'

This is the happiest I’ve felt in any writing group. I have even been to an MFA program, but Wildflowers Writing community is where I experienced the most growth as a writer. Trivarna’s style of feedback is so rooted in tender curiosity, honesty, and heartfelt compassion. It’s obvious she wants her members to thrive.
- Olivia Page, Writer & Photographer
'Two of my poems were accepted for publication by a journal!'

My voice has grown leaps and bounds in this community. This is a magical space to be in. I hadn’t written for years when I came here but a single session got me started on 3 poems. I finally feel like I can start writing the book I’d always dreamed of thanks to Trivarna and all the writers who make this space a blessed, beautiful sanctuary for creatives. Don’t think TWICE. Join this community. This is the best investment you’ll make.
–Emma Johnson, Writer & Digital Marketer
'It made me feel like I wasn’t on this journey alone.'

I loved being part of this community of people who shared the same goals as me: to write, to read, and to reconnect with themselves as writers. Trivarna took the time to check in with me, understand where I was in my journey, and offer additional support when needed. She went out of her way to respond to each of us in the forums. You can tell when something means so much to someone, and that passion makes the experience even more enjoyable and inspiring.

Meet the poet who’s putting the heart back in feedback

Trivarna Hariharan

My journey with poetry has taken me through acclaimed university writing programs and into the pages of celebrated literary journals. Yet through it all, I felt pressure to perfect rather than explore. I couldn't shake the feeling that something vital was missing from how we teach poetry – the permission to be wonderfully, unabashedly human in our writing.

Wildflowers Are Prayers is my answer to that missing piece.

Drawing from my years of experience, I've created the writing sanctuary I wish I'd found earlier in my journey.

Here, we approach poetry not just as an art form but as a lived practice that weaves through our daily lives, honors our cultural heritage, and helps us process our deepest emotions.

I can’t wait for you to join us.
