Six-Week Writing Intensive—The Container

This is an immersive, guided writing container designed for writers wanting to dive deeply into their voice and the craft of writing. Over six weeks, you’ll work closely with me through a blend of live sessions and weekly written exchanges (WhatsApp and email), creating a rhythm that keeps the focus on writing, not just thinking or talking about it.

The program begins with an excavation and exploration of your personal autobiography — the experiences and turning points that shaped you — grounding the work in your unique story.

The process is designed for writers working with complex and existential material: lived experience, relational rupture, identity recovery and discovery, embodiment, grief, rage, sensuality, beauty, and meaning-making.

So, rather than forcing premature narrative coherence, we begin by establishing the field in which the work can safely and honestly unfold, your story.

Phase One: Excavation and Exploration

• Life Line mapping to open memory, pattern recognition, and thematic clarity

• Letter-writing and dialogical exercises to access voice without performance

• Early structural sketches (working tables of contents, parts, thresholds) to locate the spine of the work before filling it in

We will protect the nervous system and creative life force by gently growing awareness around possibility, self-agency, and self-resourcing.

This mentorship emphasizes both rigor and spaciousness: a intensive container that also allows for intuitive flow, flexibility, and deep reflection.

Phase Two: Differentiating Voice and Authority

As the work deepens, we shift from autobiographical recounting toward articulation of meaning:

• Distinguishing between the experiencing self and the narrating intelligence

• Allowing an emergent voice (oracle, witness, elder, or inner authority) to speak

• Identifying core definitions, guiding principles, and refusals that orient the reader

Writers are supported in moving from “what happened” to what was learned, named, and forged — without requiring confession, naming, or retraumatization.

Phase Three: Structure as Containment

Structure is treated not as constraint, but as containment and care:

• Threshold texts and orienting passages that guide the written experience

• Section-level framing that clarifies the purpose of each movement

• Permission to work in fragments, passages, letters, or poetic forms

The emphasis is on coherence over chronology, and integrity over completeness.

Ongoing Support and Rhythm

Throughout the intensive:

• Writing invitations and prompts are offered weekly

• Feedback focuses on conceptual clarity, structural coherence, and voice development

• The pace honors continuity without urgency, and depth without collapse

This process is especially well-suited for writers who:

• Are carrying material shaped by power asymmetry or relational injury

• Want to write something true without exposing themselves to harm

• Are interested in hybrid forms: memoir/oracle, fragmentary narrative, embodied wisdom texts

• Need both creative freedom and intelligent containment

The result is not a finished book, but something more essential: a clear direction, an authentic voice, and a structure that can hold the work to come.

From there, writing more authentically becomes possible — and sustainable.

The goal is to craft a text that is alive, resonant, and deeply personal — whether memoir, a collection, oracle, journaling, essays or transformative literary work.
