Maitri
Libellule has been a writer and journal writing teacher for 30 years, She has been featured in The Utne Reader, Girlfriends magazine, and heard on Public Radio. She
has also been featured in The Wilmington Star News, Curve
Magazine, Capturing The Spirit Of The Carolinas magazine, and in the anthology, The Milk Of Human Kindness. She has also written regular columes for a number of magazines
and newspapers, and has had three small presses. She previously published under the name Marcia
Tyson Kolb for most of her writing career, taking the name Maitri Libellule
legally in 2005. For over 30 years
now Maitri's classes have been filled with artists, writers, and musicians, and more who took her classes to help them
open themselves up to their own true material and expand their creativity; housewives and people from all walks of life, including
many people sent to her from therapists, ministers, and counselors of all sorts who believed that what she did with their
patients/clients was the perfect addendum to their therapeutic process; to all manner of people hoping to learn to use writing
as a spiritual practice to see them through life. She has taught this process in colleges, in adult education programs, women
centers, privately, as well as online, teaching thousands of people this very special writing process. Maitri feels that her writing and teaching are an
important part of her spiritual path, is committed to following this path for the rest of her life, and has a book in process
about her life at Dragonly Cottage. She lives in a magical little cottage on the coast
of North Carolina with six parrots, one big black dog, 4 pugs and one beta fish, most of whom are rescues. Animal rescue is
a big part of Maitri's life and work.
