Lit Illuminated Coaching
As part of my Lit Illuminated coaching, I offer three distinct services designed to support your creative and transformational journey.
Independent Literary Study
This is a space where we delve into carefully curated texts, unlocking the secrets of storytelling, technique, and artistic expression.
While I provide the invaluable support and guidance you’d expect from a mentor and teacher, the focus of the independent study goes beyond the text. We dive deep into literary works, extracting insights, patterns and spaces of remembrance. Linking the text to your story and to the larger community.
If writing is part of your practice, we can also use this time to study techniques to elevate your writing. Imagine a space where you can learn from the masters of the craft while simultaneously nurturing your own creative vision.
That’s what my independent studies offer – a fusion of scholarship and personal growth tailored to your unique journey. Whether it is a writing, healing or personal path we will walk it together amongst the pages and narratives.
This program is a 3 consecutive month commitment as we dive into the study of literature.
Details and Contribution:
3-month package — We’ll connect via Zoom for two 50-minute sessions per month (a total of six sessions). Standard: $520 – $780 (Sliding Scale / Sacred Economy Exchange)
“Any collection of words, however expressed, can invite these kinds of conversations that connect I and we, then and now, here and gone. Because every utterance is already lived in, by occupants real and imagined. Every word is ours and other people’s at the same time” –Lissa Soep
Story Reflection and Remembrance Session
This is not literary analysis. This is a symbolic remembrance.
In this session, we use the story that calls to you—a book, short story, poem, or personal narrative—as a codex mirror to reveal your own symbolic architecture and journey.
Every story is a portal.
Every archetype is a thread.
Every chapter is a spiral of your soul returning to itself.
In our session, you bring a text that holds personal resonance—a story you love, can’t forget, or keep returning to.
Together, we will decode the archetypal characters you are mirroring while identifying themes, wounds, and integrations as it maps to your current life spiral.
This is for you if:
- You feel drawn to certain stories, myths, characters, or narrative patterns
- You know you are in a life shift and want clarity
You are not broken. You are mid-story.
Let the narrative remember you.
Details and Contribution:
One 50-minute session via Zoom
Standard: $77–$133 (Sliding Scale / Sacred Economy Exchange)
Mentored Writing Practice
- Do you want to tell your story but you just don’t know where to start?
- Are you in the middle of a memoir project that you once loved, but it has lost that spark?
- Are you feeling alone in the process and emotional journey of writing a memoir?
This is where a writing coach can come in to help.
A writing coach is not an editor; a writing coach helps you through the process.
A coach is like a trail guide. The person who helps you find where you are going, who checks your maps and timelines, if you have them, and if not, they will help you get them. A guide who reminds you to keep going because the view at the end of the trail is worth it. A guide who comes along and helps you remove the barriers along the path and reminds you to take time to look at the beauty all around you, even as you march forward to your goal.
Yes, of course, you can hike a trail on your own, but it sure does help to have someone along the way to help you when you get lost and to help maintain the trail to keep things clear and uncluttered.
This is how I see myself as a memoir writing coach. As you walk down the writer’s path, I am a guide standing beside you. The person to talk to, offer help and remind you that you have what it takes to reach the end of the book journey.
I am an intuitive coach who can see the big picture and the small shifts necessary to move forward in your project. I will push you to get in the right mindset for the project ahead of you and help you work through fears and/or places where you might be sabotaging your efforts.
