Bio
Seraphina Dawn is a Canadian writer known for her meditative, mystical, and philosophical approach to writing.
Born in the Prairies on December 24, 1987, Seraphina grew up on the West Coast with her three sisters. Her roots in Christianity and access to nature greatly impacted her spiritual outlook and inquiry.
Seraphina’s use of lyrical prose, rich metaphors, and invocation of emotional landscapes allows her to weave complex themes into expressive pieces illuminating the human spirit.
Seraphina is a registered Reiki and Kundalini teacher and integrates her education in Jin Shin Jyutsu and Tantra into her work.
My day starts when I sit down to write. I drop in by tapping the keyboard or scribbling in a notebook. I like to smell something lovely as I work—incense, perfume, flowers. Fresh coffee is essential.
I write to soothe the angst and grief I sense at the edges.
It’s always there; the only question is what to do.
I ease friction through fiction.
I practice and teach yoga—vinyasa and kundalini. Movement is my way of expressing the subconscious. I collect the stories that unfold as my body beats and breathes through little prose poems.
Formal education

Poem 2.
The woman disrobes, leaving her lace to the shadows.
Rootless Root, her wings are the essence of breath.
Possessiveness is the seat of sorrow.
The woman’s sigh undulates the trees.
The boughs tremble, and leaves dissolve. There is a heat in the body that must be treated.
You have been initiated; the river beckons.
The woman is stretched out, as transparent as the butterfly beating its wings in tune with the cosmic cycle.
As the moth lands on the log, the fifth depth is born.
Take life as it comes.
