2.5 productive and soul-filling hours

For sensitive writers, seekers, and storytellers ready to map their stories and leave with a clear plan for for writing your memoir — even if self-doubt, shame, or too-many-storylines has stopped you before.

Sometimes it feels daunting to write your life story down.

So let’s start sorting through it, organizing it, and giving it structure using fairy tale and myth as your guide.

 

This is your chance to reclaim your voice and start your memoir (or start again) from a place of clarity, compassion, and creativity.

In this intimate workshop, you'll learn how to:

  • Use fairy tale and mythic structure to map your lived experiences (especially the messy, jagged ones) into a cohesive narrative arc

  • Work with memory and emotion in a way that supports your nervous system 

  • Uncover the core story beneath your many storylines so you finally know where to begin and how to continue

You'll leave with a personal life timeline, solid memoir outline, a more grounded nervous system, and a sense that your story matters. Because it does.

This workshop is for you if...

  • You’ve written scraps and scenes but feel overwhelmed by trying to shape the whole story

  • You’re a healer, creative, or recovering good girl with a burning story inside

  • You're hungry to understand your life, to thread meaning through memory

  • You want a somatic, non-coercive approach to writing- where healing is built into the process

 

You want to become a personal mythmaker.

Owning your stories, sharing them, alive, joyful and confident.

I’m the creator of The Art of Personal Mythmaking, a transformational memoir-writing course that combines somatic body-based writing techniques, highly-trained nervous system trauma healing, and ancient tales like fairy tale and myth.

For the past 10+ years, I’ve guided thousands of smart, sensitive people to reclaim their voices and reshape their lives through embodied story.

My work is mythic, body-based, and deeply grounded in your lived experience.

Your Story Deserves This

Too many people carry their stories like burdens, scattered, silenced, alive in the body and unexpressed.

This workshop is a place to bring those stories forth. To shape them. To let them speak.

 
 
 

 “Working with Janelle was life-changing. I uncovered pieces of myself I didn’t even know I’d hidden.”

 
 

“I was terrified to share my story. But this workshop gave me a doorway in. I finally feel ready to write.”

 
 

“Janelle brings the sacred and the practical together in a way that’s rare and deeply nourishing.”

 

FAQs & What to Expect

 

  • I teach this live semi-regularly!

    Just scroll up to the very top (or the very bottom) of this page for the most current dates and times.

  • Online via Zoom. You’ll get a link as soon as you register.

  • Yes! A recording will be available for 72 hours after the live workshop.

  • Not at all. You’re invited to write, reflect, and explore at your own pace.

  • Your open heart, a notebook or journal, a pen, and a quiet-ish space. If you have it, bring a roll of paper to use for the two timelines we’ll be creating (loose sheets of paper (plus tape) will also work).

  • During the workshop we will spend 2.5 hours together, and by the end you’ll have a solid outline for your memoir, clarity on the stories you want to write, and insight into the deeper themes at play in your life. 

    At the end you’ll also be invited to join my transformational memoir-writing course, The Art of Personal Mythmaking course (of which this workshop is the foundational starting point). 

    But only if it feels like a yes in your body. No pressure. No push. Just a soft invitation.  

    This is live, intimate, and unlike any free writing workshop out there.
