I'm Terri Trespicio.
I’m certified in the Gateless method alongside my fellow instructors for years. There’s simply nothing like it for supporting, inspiring, and reenergizing creative work, no matter what shape it takes.
The magic is in the method itself: A sturdy, critic-free container, a positive vibe, and a focused, prompted writing session that lets you get as much done in less time than you think.
It might be just what you need to ignite yourself again — and keep that flame burning.

“I came in feeling a bit stuck with my creativity, not sure where I was going (with my writing or in life). After each session I felt energized, connected to this flow of energy and life force inside of me.”
