How will Writing for Being help me?
At its core, Writing for Being will provide you with a framework and tools for transforming challenges both big and small into possibilities—today, tomorrow, and for the rest of your life. It gives you a way to own your story, rather than it owning you.
The critical question we asked ourselves in developing the Writing for Being curriculum is, “If life were to happen for me rather than to me, who do I need to be?"
In short, the Writing for Being framework has the power to change your story—allowing you to become the author of your life, rather than a character. This profound and pivotal transformation in the role you’re playing manifests through enhanced clarity, increased confidence, defined values, new intentions, improved mindfulness, boosted productivity, decreased stress, and so much more.
Why a Cohort? Is there a self-guided version of Writing for Being?
We get this question a lot. Designing a cohort program was an intentional decision. The Writing for Being format provides a unique duality that’s not possible with an on-demand program. There’s an old African proverb that goes, “If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.”
The Writing for Being framework offers a lifelong, deeply personal journey—the story you will write to live a better life is uniquely your own—you are the sole author—but the community support and connection you will gain within a cohort is an immensely valuable and critical part of the Writing for Being experience.
We often say, “The magic happens in the room,” and we want to protect that distinctive quality. While Writing for Being follows an established six-week framework, it’s the personal stories, insightful questions, differing perspectives, and moments of realization that add powerful layers of growth and understanding that make a cohort format the best platform for transformational and lasting change.
Will you offer additional Writing for Being cohorts? I’m not sure if I can fit this into my schedule.
The short answer is, yes. We are committed to launching additional Writing for Being cohorts at some point in the future.
The longer answer is that the “perfect” time will never exist.
What we teach in Writing for Being is that when we let life happen to us, we only exist as a character in our life’s story, rather than the author of our story.
If you’ve contemplated writing a different story for your life and creating a better future for yourself—one filled with possibilities rather than obstacles and roadblocks—the work needs to begin now. Writing for Being does not offer a “quick fix” for all of life’s problems, but it does provide you with the tools and framework you need to change how you'll write your life's story moving forward.
