Meet Dawn Blunk
Dawn brings together decades of creative expertise with deep psychological insight to guide transformative creative experiences. With 22 years teaching literature, composition, creative writing, journalism, and film studies at American River and Sierra Community Colleges, she understands how stories shape us—and how we can reshape our stories.
Her journey through producing and directing local film projects, combined with nearly a decade covering Sacramento's vibrant arts scene for Sacramento Magazine, gave her an intimate understanding of how creativity moves through community. These experiences revealed the profound connection between artistic expression and personal transformation, leading her to specialized studies in depth psychology.
Today, Dawn weaves together her literary background, somatic movement practices, and depth psychology training to create workshops that go beyond traditional creative writing. Her approach honors the body's wisdom alongside the mind's creativity, offering mature learners a path to authentic self-expression through embodied creative practice.
Whether guiding participants through embodiment/breath work, depth art exploration, or transformative writing exercises, Dawn creates safe, nurturing spaces where creativity becomes a doorway to healing, growth, and genuine connection—both to Self and community.
Dawn holds specialized training in applied somatic depth psychology and continues her own journey of creative exploration and embodied learning.
