Writing Mentorship Program
Find your voice.
Tell your story.
Heal your past.
Write your story with me
Write your Sacred Text
1-1 Writing Mentorship is a 6-month program designed to bring your book from conception to completion. You will work with Dr. Kate Newburgh, who knows intimately this process of creation and healing through storytelling. By the end of 6 months, you will have completed a powerful journey of healing your past through storytelling, and you will have a book you can hold in your hands.
This program is for those who:
want to find their voice through telling their story. This may include surfacing memories from this lifetime, from your family lineage, and/or bringing forth soul memories.
have not yet started writing, or are at the very beginning stages of the process.
have possibly experienced disempowerment, trauma, abuse, silence, and/or constriction on their expression and are ready to speak out in an authentic and empowered way.
are open to multi-dimensional healing processes (mental, psychological, emotional, spiritual, and even physical).
are ready to walk with Dr. Kate through the ups and downs, challenges and confrontations that healing, transformation and self discovery entail. I will be with you every step of the process!
This program is not for those who:
Have already written a draft (congrats though if you have!)
Are looking just for an editor or publisher.
Are writing fiction or mass-market stories.
Interested? The first step is to fill out an intake form to see if this program is right for you!
Something You Can Hold
At the end of our time together, you will have a finished product, a book or manuscript that you can hold in your hands.
Having an artifact like this is a powerful reminder of who you are in your own highest expression.
Committed Support
I work with you to express your own story- the one that feels authentic, empowering, and deeply true.
Whether you’re writing to publish, or whether your story is just for you, my support is tailored for your specific questions, goals, and needs.
Why write your story?
There’s something deeply healing about saying what you want to say, how you want to say it. When I wrote my story, I found myself. I came home.
-Dr. Kate Newburgh, Founder of Books of Eden Publishing; author of The New Eden: Paradise Retold, and Finding Home: A Mystical Memoir

The Process
By the end of six months, you will have a complete first draft of your story.
Month 1:
Four 1-hr meetings (one per week), includes channeled messages, intuitive writing prompts and shamanic visualizations for deep self-reflection.
Focus: Start gently. Dive deep.
This month, we will delve into why your story is meaningful, articulate your message, and begin to choose/uncover specific stories from your past. We will also feel into what style of writing is most resonant with you. By the end of this month, you will be introduced to the why of your story, and have a sense of what it wants to be.
Month 2:
Four 1-hr meetings. Includes: practical and deep edits, guiding questions, intuitive writing prompts and shamanic visualizations for deep self-reflection.
Focus: Stream of Consciousness
This month, you will write fearlessly and recklessly, just letting the words flow the way they want. You won’t stop to think or edit. You’ll just write! Through this process of creation and discovery, your true voice-your unique signature of energy- will begin to emerge.
Month 3:
Four 1-hr meetings. Includes: practical and deep edits, guiding questions, intuitive writing prompts and shamanic visualizations for deep self-reflection.
Focus: Voice of the Soul.
This month, we will begin to play with words and feeling so that characters and places come to life on the page! We will deepen into your true voice, the voice of your soul, discovering how it expresses and what its messages are. This month is about really recognizing and listening to that deep voice within.
Month 4:
Four 1-hr meetings. Includes: practical and deep edits, guiding questions, intuitive writing prompts and shamanic visualizations for deep self-reflection.
Focus: Seeing the Tapestry
What is the shape your story wants to take? How does it want to be built? This month we will begin to assemble the pieces of your story so that you can begin to see the whole picture as it emerges. We will also build your skills of close-editing, word craft and artistry.
Month 5:
Four 1-hr meetings. Includes: practical and deep edits, guiding questions, intuitive writing prompts and shamanic visualizations for deep self-reflection.
Focus: Bringing it all together
This month, we’ll take a wide-angled lens, reading the whole story for flow, pacing, consistency and feel. We will check that your signature of energy lives and breathes through every scene or passage.
Month 6:
Four 1-hr meetings (one per week). Includes: final edits, final guiding questions, intuitive writing prompts and shamanic visualizations for final healing and reflection, and (of course) a celebration!
Focus: The fine-toothed comb
This final month of our program, we will meet each week, close-editing your story, and adding finishing touches. Think of this like the final brushstrokes, fine-tuning your words so that the book becomes your living story. Then, we celebrate your enormous accomplishment!
