Madeleine Onraet writes poetry that focuses on the spiritual nature of existence, family life and the natural world. Her insights arise from looking deeply into moments of everyday life. Madeleine has explored the wisdom and beauty of Christian mysticism, Sufism, Buddhism and the Enneagram. Since 2002, she has been a student of the Diamond Approach - a modern spiritual path that draws on the practices of the ancient wisdom traditions together with the understandings of modern depth psychology. Madeleine has worked as a print journalist and hospital chaplain.
