Mary Louise Peters calls Wisconsin home with ties to Rhinelander, La Crosse, and Madison. Mary is a Courage & Renewal® Facilitator, providing retreats and renewal experiences since 2010. At a retreat, Mary creates safe space for self-reflection and shared exploration, allowing for the deep inner work that nurtures one’s heart and soul. Facilitation and relationship-based practices have been central to Mary’s work experiences. She has offered personal and professional renewal experiences in retreat and credit-based formats.
Mary’s poetry has been published in Wisconsin Fellowship of Poets (WFOP) calendars, the blog, Reflections from the Center, and several anthologies:
Driftless Writers Center’s “Small Machines” (2023),
Same Location, Multiple Perspectives (2022),
WFOP’s Leaves of Peace (2020)
Stitching Earth to Sky (2019).
She is a member of WFOP and Writers and Critters, an international writing and critique group for women writers. https://www.amazon.com/author/petersmarylouise
