RE-MEMBERING

What made you

What keeps repeating

What you want

  • A creative writing guide titled '9 Weeks to Write Your Next Chapter' with nine images representing different chapter themes: blank page, backstory, protagonist, wound, desire, gift, conflict, calling, and next chapter.
  • A close-up of a dandelion seed head with some seeds blowing away against a blurred, bokeh background. Overlaid text reads 'OO BLANK PAGE. The threshold. Naming what has you suspended between what was and what's next.'
  • A collage of four images with the heading 'Backstory', including a clock, torn newspaper clippings, handwritten family tree, and vintage family photographs.
  • A woman with dark hair and makeup resting her head on a table with her eyes closed, wearing a black long-sleeve top.
  • A series of five images on a textured beige background, showing dark outdoors, leafless trees, dirty hands, an empty glass, and a burnt cellphone. Text reads '03 WOUND' with a quote about roots, patterns, protections, and pain.
  • A collage of five images related to desire, including a hand touching a wall, a flaming heart, a classical sculpture of a person, a bow with an arrow and wings, and a knife with a red mark, with text reading 'Desire' and a quote about longing.
  • A collage with four photos: a woman dancing on the beach, a chef cooking and smelling food, a woman watering plants, and an open book, with the word 'GIFT' and a quote about learning and offering.
  • Dark stormy sky with a prominent lightning bolt and clouds. Overlaid text reads: '06 Conflict - The inner battle. Who you've been versus who you're becoming.' There is a small inset image of a person falling or diving among clouds. Bottom text: 'The Story Grail.'
  • A motivational page with two photographs: one of a large historical stone doorway with a person in white standing in the distance, and one showing shelves of rolled-up scrolls or papers. The page includes a quote about purpose and truth.
  • Invitation to a new chapter event with a photo of a person sitting by a body of water at night, writing in a notebook.

WHO IS IT FOR

For anyone who knows something has ended, but isn’t quite sure what begins now.

Maybe you’ve ended and outgrown a relationship, friendship, a career, a place, a version of yourself... or a life you thought you’d still be living.

You don’t need to have the answer yet.

You just need to know you can’t keep living from the same story and be willing to give what’s emerging the space to unfold.

The Next Chapter is for the space in between:

who you’ve been, and who you’re becoming.

FAQs

  • Not necessarily. You may be in the middle of a visible change, or simply feel that something in your life no longer fits. Sometimes the next chapter begins before we have language for what’s ending.

  • Not at all. Writing is one of the tools we’ll use to think, uncover and make meaning. This isn’t about writing beautifully. It’s about writing truthfully.

  • Every session is recorded. You can return to the material in your own time and continue the work without falling behind.

  • No. The Next Chapter is a coaching and self-inquiry experience. We may explore your history, patterns, desires and identity, but the work is designed around reflection, meaning-making and what you want to create next.

  • The idea is to step back and observe your life’s story from an eagle’s-eye view. Expect a mix of guided writing prompts, story mapping, mythology and archetypes, philosophy, creative exercises, and practices to carry with you between sessions. Each week reveals another piece of the story and builds upon the last.

  • As personal as feels right for you. You’ll be invited to look honestly at your own story, but you decide what you share with the group and what remains on the page.

  • Perfect. You’re not supposed to arrive with the answer. The work is about creating enough space, language and perspective for what’s next to begin revealing itself.

  • There will be prompts and practices between sessions, but this isn’t homework you need to “complete.” Give the work the time it asks of you—some weeks that may be twenty minutes, others you may want to stay with it longer.

  • Yes. If you’d prefer to move through this work 1:1, private coaching is also available.
