Introducing Lit Illuminated courses and workshops
Healing Through Story. Awakening Through Literature.
Step into a transformative space where story meets soul. Literature is more than words on a page—it’s a living mirror, a healing tool, and a map for the soul’s evolution.
Whether you’re a writer, a reader, a seeker, or all three, these workshops and seminars will teach you how to:
- Read like a writer — uncover how form, narrative, and technique work to create emotion, structure, and impact
- Analyze for insight — move beyond academic reading into intuitive pattern recognition and symbolic interpretation for personal growth
- Engage in deep reading — explore how close study of narrative reveals pathways to transformation and inner awakening
Who This Is For:
- Seekers craving meaningful engagement with literature
- Writers who want to deepen their craft through analysis
- Readers who want to use books as tools for insight and growth
- Anyone on a spiritual or healing path drawn to narratives and pattern work
“The transformation of the heart is a wondrous thing, no matter how it is brought about. And books are often the midwives of this process.” – Patti Smith
