Green Heart Writing Circle

The reality is that most people that 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 people 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 put their stories out there in published form. 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 three-month writing experience will give you a sacred space for reflection, healing, grieving, and sharing your stories, as you heal and grow into your next chapter.

• 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 - that 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 weekly calls. Calls will be led by Green Heart Writing Coaches, including Elizabeth Hill and Ryan Hall. You will also get access to a full-day online writing retreat on Friday, April 21, 2023.

Each call will include:

• Sharing and celebrating writing progress 
• Author reading and compassionate community feedback
• Sharing of writing goals for the week ahead - there is power in declaring your goals out loud!

Call times: Most weeks, calls will be held on Tuesdays Noon-1 PM EST, with some calls held on Fridays at Noon-1 PM EST. (Full Schedule available upon request.)

An evening call on Tuesdays 7-8 PM EST may also be offered if this works better for participants.

Social Worker, Advocate, Author of Heading the Caregiver Call: The Story of Barbara Ella Milton, Sr. and Alzheimer's Disease & The Great Pause: Blessings and Wisdom from COVID-19

"Liz's coaching on coping with chronic illness pulled me up and out of an abyss... Had it not been for those coaching sessions, where Liz held me and my vision and worked with me through writing blocks and grief, I would not have completed the book. Through her coaching and counseling, (Liz) helps us realize dreams and become heart-centered authors and human beings."
