I'm Debra Engle!
Author, Writing Mentor, Spiritual Teacher
One of my favorite quotes is, “Be only love, for that is what you are.” It comes from A Course in Miracles, a program I’ve studied for forty years and taught for twenty. To me, it says everything about who we are and what we’re here for. I’m honored to help you discover the love within you through my books, spiritual classes, writing programs and one-on-one mentoring. Please check out all the possibilities on this site to see what speaks to you. Hope to connect with you soon!

Join My Substack Community
This life journey is not always easy, especially when there’s so much fear, divisiveness and judgment around us every day. How do we find hope? Where do we find meaning? How do we “get out of the mess we’ve made?” as one of my subscribers asked. It’s a powerful question.
I’ve learned that life doesn’t have to be so ridden with conflict and struggle. There’s a world inside you where you can find a whole lot of peace, compassion, comfort, connection, creativity, and even joy. A place to make meaning through writing, meditation and miracles. Come with me, and we’ll find it together.
