Do your tears turn to ink? Do your fingers reach eagerly for the keyboard, even if only in your mind, and begin on their own to spell your future? Is there a book in you that is so close that you can feel it waiting to be born from your hands?

 Write from your vulnerable heart of truth, tell the stories you carry in the cells of your body, and craft the words of your soul into life-changing documents that are as much climate activism as any protest or proclamation 

Stephanie Mines has written and found reputable, well distributed publishers for her unique expression since the 1970’s. Her paradigm shifting books are always unexpected trend-setters, breaking down assumptions and modeling a more respectful way of being. She is a wise crone with vast experience and wisdom, as well as an unprecedented leader. 

From her first book, Two Births (Random House), that caused a resurgence in home birth practices to her best-selling We Are All in Shock: Energy Medicine for Traumatic Times (Red Wheel Wiesel), Stephanie has dared to break down assumptions and barriers. She makes radical innovation tempting, graceful, beautiful, and even seductive.

Stephanie will guide you to become the author you have always dreamed of being. She will show you how your wild creativity can be organized and shaped. When you enroll in this workshop you receive an excerpt from Stephanie’s forthcoming book The Secret of Resilience: Healing Personal and Planetary Trauma through Morphogenesis (Inner Traditions).

Stephanie knows how to combine lyricism, science, educational outreach, and storytelling. She has done it over and over. And she not only finds publishers; publishers reach out to her. Stephanie will share her templates, practices, publishing connections and editing skills with you. She is a generous and generative teacher. She wants you to flourish.

Writers who have a working manuscript or a sketch, writers who have an idea or a vision, and writers who are close to their final edits, are all welcome. Stephanie has something to upgrade your writing no matter how long you have been at it. 

Story has always kept civilization alive and evolving. If you are a writer or if you long to be one, you are part of this lineage. Claim your place. Stop “just dreaming” about it and do it.
