Kaufe Dawna Kreis einen Kaffee

Hello, my friend! I'm Dawna 💛

I write words for the moments when you're uncertain, unraveling, or finding your way back to yourself. Essays, reflections, stories, and spiritual guidance... the kind of writing that slows you down and reminds you that you're not lost. You're returning... remembering.

My work lives in a few different places.

The Ember Lantern is a space for sensitive souls navigating spiritual awakening, identity shifts, and the quiet unravelings that don't have names.

Wondermere is something entirely different... a healing fiction world.

And there are books in the making, both the kind that guide and the kind that transport you somewhere altogether new.

What connects all of it is the same belief: that writing can be a form of healing... of Homecoming, and words... when they're true and unhurried, can help you remember who you actually are.

Why Your Support Matters

When you buy me a coffee, you're helping keep the fires lit. You're supporting the free essays and reflections that arrive each week, the stories still finding their shape, and the quiet spaces I hold for souls who need somewhere safe to land.

I write. I guide. I tend, and every now and then, something comes through that feels less like creating and more like remembering.

If this work has met you where you are, your support means everything. It keeps me able to do this work at a pace that honors both my soul and yours... unhurried, grounded, real.

Thank you for being here. It means more than you know. ❤️‍🔥
