At Inner Fire, Outer Light, we believe artists, writers, musicians, and other creatives are an invaluable part of social and environmental change for good — if they can step away from the current exploitative, insecure, and stressful ways of working, and step into sustainable ways of making a living, making a life they enjoy, and making a real difference in the world.

That’s where we come in. We train, coach, support, and facilitate creative change-makers to build creative businesses and organizations with sustainable models that are life-giving to the people who work within them as well as the communities they serve — all while supporting their creative projects and practices. We and our clients share a triple bottom line: income, quality of life, and social impact.

We’ve been doing this work for over a decade and it is built on a lifetime of experience. (In fact, our founder, Leona Morrison, is literally writing the book on it!) During that time, we’ve helped hundreds of creatives build a thriving creative life and livelihood.

Leona Morrison is the founder of Inner Fire, Outer Light, which helps overwhelmed and undervalued artists, creatives, and wellness professionals to make a living, make a life, and make a difference with their gifts.

Trained in visual art, writing, music, peace and global studies, education, facilitation, creative business and life coaching, Leona has worked as an activist, toured nationally as a folk singer/songwriter, and spent more than a decade as a coach helping people thrive at the intersection of creativity and social good.

In addition to the work of Inner Fire, Outer Light, she runs her family wellness products business, co-runs a nonprofit farm animal sanctuary, and spends as much time as possible writing, walking in nature, petting cats, baking, hanging out and relaxing with her family, friends, and herself.
