Live a New Story

with writer, educator and mentor, Clare Mulvany

Sharing inspiration and resources to help you harness the transformative power of creativity, place and story.

Hello, I’m Clare

I believe in the power of creativity and stories to help us live more meaningful, connected lives. Exploring the wonders of the natural world and the depths of the human spirit, my work helps to guide people from feelings of overwhelm, to creative, hopeful action. I do this as a writer, educator, facilitator and creative mentor. 

On this site you’ll find some of my own writing, alongside resources, guides, toolkits and invites. And you are welcome to join me over on my Substack community, The Wild Edge where we can write and create throughout the year.

Together we can learn to live a new story.

Welcome.
