Welcome Page & FAQ’S
WELCOME
To start, please fill out the entry form here if you haven’t already.
Next, watch the 10-minute welcome video above.
I also recommend that you review the Workshop Schedule & Materials page. There you will find the link to register for the Zoom info, and this is where materials will be saved after each session.
Take your time to browse the Story Work Toolbox, which I will add to as needed, as we go through the series.
FAQs
Feel free to email me if you have questions that are not answered here.
I CAN’T ATTEND ALL OF THE LIVE SESSIONS, WILL THEY BE RECORDED?
Yes. All of the Wednesday night sessions will be recorded.
WHAT CAN I EXPECT WHEN I SHOW UP FOR the wednesday night SESSIONs?
Each live session will feature a reading from the book, guided writing exercises, open discussion, and a Q&A. Our weekly focus will be on self-discovery, and you'll be encouraged to explore your ideas further through prose or poetry in the week that follows. At the start of each session, we’ll reflect on the previous week’s writing experience together. You won’t be expected to present polished or finished work, and while sharing is always welcomed, it’s never required. However, I will invite each of you to speak about the themes you're exploring and the insights you're uncovering in your writing.
WILL I MISS OUT ON ANY OF THE story work material if i don’t attend the inner story writing circle sessions?
No. Your access to the Inner Story Writing Circle is completely optional and supplemental. You will not miss out on any Story Work instruction or materials if you do not attend these sessions.
If you choose to participate, your registration includes membership to the Inner Story Writing Circle through the end of June. This includes workshops, cowriting sessions, office hours, and more. You can stay abreast of what’s coming up for Inner Story by visiting the member area, and I also send out an email with updates every Sunday night at 8 pm et.
HOW DO I ACCESS THE INNER STORY MEMBERship?
If you would like access to the Inner Story member area, including all the session archives and the resource center, you can use the code HEAL2222 to sign up for Inner Story - Core, here. (Choose the $44/month option. When you enter the code, the total will change to $0) The discount code is for 100% off, so you won't be charged anything. Your temporary membership will end on Tuesday, July 1.
WHAT CAN I EXPECT WHEN I SHOW UP FOR A COWRITING SESSION?
Cowriting sessions take place on Tuesdays from 6 - 7 pm et and on Thursdays from 12 - 1 pm et. These are quiet sessions intended to help you set aside time to get words on the page. At the start of the session, we say hello and are invited to share what we’ll be working on. I also offer an optional warm-up exercise. (On Tuesdays, we hop on early at 5:30 pm et for an accountability session where we share updates, challenges, wins, questions, breakthroughs, frustrations, etc. with each other.)
DO I NEED TO RSVP FOR THE COWRITING SESSIONS AND WORKSHOPS? WILL YOU SEND OUT REMINDERS?
I don’t send out reminders for the cowriting sessions, so you will want to add them to your calendar. I do send out reminders for the other sessions and workshops, but I encourage you to add those to your calendar, too!
HOW DO I ACCESS THE STORY WORK EXERCISES ON SUBSTACK?
If you do not already have access, I have added the email address that you signed up to the intensive with to my Substack so you can access the paywalled content. If you have any trouble, or would like me to use a different email address, please let me know.
