The Perfect Participant
This workshop is perfect for:
​
-
Aspiring Authors: You haven’t written a book yet, but have what feels like a million ideas. You want to clarify a direction to make your creative dreams a reality.
-
New Authors: You published your first book in the past year (congratulations!), but haven’t gotten the energy or momentum to promote it.
-
Authors at a Crossroads or Change: You self-published but are now looking at traditional publishing (or vice versa). Or maybe you are interested in changing genres completely.
-
Creatives: You are curious about curating an intentional and sustainable creative practice.

Understanding Your Human Design Energy with Ilona Pamplona
Your energy sets your everyday flow and pace—including the decisions you make as an author.
​
Each participant will receive a complete custom Human Design report prepared by Ilona.
​
With Human Design profiles in hand, Ilona will walk through each type, allowing you to better understand how you personally operate. This exploration sets the foundation for creating your author plan—knowing your Human Design will help you work with your natural tendencies, instead of against them.​​​

Lunch
Catered by a local favorite.

The Author Journey with Lindsey Smith
Writing is a big part of the journey, but it's just one part. Whether you are just getting started, are at a crossroads, or need some renewed motivation, there are all sorts of things to consider as you move forward, including identifying what you want to be known for and where you want to put your energy. It can be easy to fall into the comparison trap, but this session will highlight what makes you uniquely you.
3 pm
Planning Session with Woz Flint
Bringing together all the pieces you've learned and discovered throughout the day, it's time to plan what's to come. You'll look ahead to the next 6 months and decide what feels exciting and doable for you. Woz will help you map out how to implement needed tasks to reach your goals. It's all in the details.
4 pm
Closing
​
We'll gather one last time to celebrate and say our goodbyes.
