How do you write your truth
when it feels buried?

HINT: Meditation + writing are a dynamic duo that help you to ignite insight, transform your truth and write new awareness into being.

Inside each of us is a treasure trove of stories that reveal our truth, purpose, and our deep connections to the world. But what's not always clear is how to mine those stories and translate our wisdom to the page.

I created Write Your World Awake to help you to uncover your hidden narratives and get to the heart of your story more directly. You will learn to settle your mind and see old stories with new eyes. You will learn how to write your truth and share it with the world—and experience transformation in the process.

FAQ

  • Where is the workshop hosted?

    Mining for Gold is hosted on Thinkific, an online learning platform that can host live Zoom workshops, downloads, conversations, chats - everything we need to collaborate and support each other. If you’ve taken other Alchemy courses, you’ve used the Thinkific platform.

  • I’m not sure if I’m a “real” enough writer to participate.

    Mining for Gold is valuable for any writer working on a personal essay, memoir or creative nonfiction.

    Mining for Gold is equally valuable for journal writers, the writing-curious and anyone interested in rewriting the personal beliefs and stories that feel limiting, out-of-date and in need of new insights and endings.

  • What is your cancellation policy?

    If you feel like you made the wrong decision or are unsatisfied for any reason, I’ll refund your payment within the first 7 days of purchase. Simply reach out and I will give you a full refund, no questions asked.

  • How much time will I need to give to Write Your World Awake?

    Aside from class, I recommend that you put aside time for 30-minute sessions at least 4 days a week during the duration of the workshop. This will give you a good foundation to work from. We will talk more in class about how to create a writing practice, but I'll share one thing now: consistency is key.

Hi! I’m Kristin Kaye!

Writer. Mother. Lover of alliteration. Meditator. Tree Dreamer. Alchemist.

I'm an award-winning author, ghostwriter, and writing coach. And I hold an MA/MFA in creative writing. I have written two of my own critically-acclaimed books and five books for others, which have landed literary agents and endorsements from internally-renowned spiritual leaders, business executives and authors.

But when my life as a ghostwriter combined with insights gained from teaching meditation, I gained intimate insights to our oh-so-human stories. This is what Write Your World Awake helps writers deliver to the page. It's been a privilege to share this work in workshops and events at schools, colleges and organizations across the U.S. (Photo by Margot Duane)
