Unlock the Power of Your Story

This 11-week writing workshop will help you reflect, process, and create. Whether you're building the foundation for a larger piece or crafting a stand-alone story, the workshop will equip you with tools for deep, expressive writing and a renewed sense of growth and clarity.

Writing isn’t just about storytelling—it’s about transformation. This workshop is ideal for anyone navigating any form of recovery, whether that’s an addiction, chronic illness, profound loss, career changes, or a more complicated pivotal shift in life. Through guided prompts and expert support, you'll turn your transformative experiences into something meaningful and powerful.

The workshop includes 11 weeks of structured lessons, feedback, and community, with proven mental and physical health benefits from focused expressive writing. (My Instagram post breaking down the benefits in plain language is here.)

✨ Full price: $1500
✨ Save 25% with early bird registration (available three weeks before the start date). No discount code needed.
✨ Scholarships are available for those in need or from historically disadvantaged communities—reach out via my website’s contact form.

Let’s tell your story together.

There’s the story you tell yourself, the story the world tells you, and the story you tell the world. That’s your third story.
