Creative Stillness is a beautiful reminder of what can emerge when creativity, healing, and community are given space to breathe.

Led by Dhayana Alejandrina, this 26-author anthology was brought to life through our Publishing Journeys Grant, an initiative created to support meaningful independent voices and help transformative stories reach the world through professional publishing.

Blending poetry, essays, reflection, and artistic devotion, Creative Stillness honors the quiet spaces where identity, grief, healing, and creativity intersect.

Congratulations to Dhayana Alejandrina and every contributing author who helped bring this extraordinary collection to life. We are honored to have supported its publishing journey.

Creative Stillness is more than a book. It is a reflection of what happens when community, intention, healing, and creative voice come together.Led by Dhayan...
