Lori-Lyn Hurley

writer and spiritual explorer paying attention to the inner landscape.

I believe the sacred lives in ordinary moments. I hold an MFA in fiction writing from Sarah Lawrence College, and my work has found homes in places like A Wedding Journey (St. Martin's Press), Over the Moon Magazine, and Sentire Magazine. I write Creative Living Diaries on Substack, and I work with women who are ready to create their way toward a life that feels true. Read more of the story.

CREATIVE LIVING DIARIES

And maybe that is why we revisit stories together, sifting through shards of memory, comparing field notes and evidence. Maybe that is why my impulse is to walk through the same memories, the same stories, over and over again, piecing together a narrative, attempting to make sense of it, linking one memory to another like a paper chain.

Cosmic Heart: A Spiritual Memoir
$10.00

A memoir about faith that refuses to pick a lane. I grew up in a family that questioned everything and believed almost anything was possible. Decades of searching took me through Reiki tables and psychic fairs, a UFO sighting from the back of my father's car, a return to the church I'd left behind, and a fairy festival I attended the same day as Evensong. Cosmic Heart doesn't resolve any of it. That's the point.
