Green Heart Writing Circle

The reality is that most people who set out to write their own stories don't finish. They may write a few chapters and then stop. They might hit a wall, unsure of how to continue. They might write a whole book and then be afraid to release it, so it stays on their shelf for 5, 10, or 20 years! (I know because they've come to us after those 20 years and I've helped them get the books published!) The world presents a million and one distractions and - without someone rallying for you and your writing - writing is often the first thing to go out the window.

I know that when we write their story and share it with others, we grow in ways we never would have expected otherwise. I've experienced this myself as I've gotten up the guts to share my own stories - and gotten to witness over 100 people that I've helped publish. It feels very sacred and holy. My authors are always surprised by what they learn and discover - even after thinking they think they've learned and discovered everything!

Life continues happening while we are writing. And having someone by your side to help you write and breathe your way through it, is a deeply transformative feeling.

Our nine-week writing journey will give you a sacred space for reflection, healing, grieving, and sharing your stories, as you honor your experiences and grow into your next chapter.

This program will be offered next in the Fall of 2024 (Sept 12 - Nov 7).

• Finally, get your book written!
• Have your experiences heard, honored, and validated.
• Have your past fuel you and empower you, rather than have power over you.
• Grow deeper connections with other authors - who are rooting for you!
• Know when and how to share your story in ways that will help and inspire others.

My name is Elizabeth Hill and I am the founder of Green Heart Living and Green Heart Living Press. I know what a difference it can make to write and share your story because I've done it myself. I have always found writing healing, and have piles and piles of journals to prove it! After years of working in the nonprofit field as a community social worker, and teaching yoga and meditation, I began a life coaching practice, specifically helping people with big goals navigate overwhelming life situations. After I published my first book, Green Your Heart, Green Your World: Avoid Burnout, Save the World, and Love Your Life, people began coming to me to learn how they could share their own stories and publish books of their own. I have now helped over 100 people write and share their personal stories in print form - while continuing to share my own.

The program is structured with:

• The Find the Heart of Your Message program (two in-depth 2-hour calls).
• Weekly 60-minute Writing Circle calls.
• Virtual Writing Sprints to get your writing goals accomplished in community.
• Opportunities to get comfortable with sharing your story with others.

Weekly calls include:

• Guided meditation for clarity, tuning in, and taking care of our energy during the writing process.
• Sharing and celebrating writing progress.
• Opportunity to share your writing and receive compassionate community feedback
• Sharing of writing goals for the week ahead - there is power in declaring your goals out loud!

Weekly Green Heart Circle session times: Tuesdays 2-3 pm EDT (Sept 24, Oct 1, 8, 15, 22, 29, Nov 5)

Green Heart Living Press has helped over 150 writers become best-selling authors.

There's a reason authors choose to publish with us.

There's a reason many return to publish a second - and third - book with us.

We invite you to experience this for yourself.
