memoir, memoir writing, writing your life

A New Mentorship Program Offered by Emily Hanlon

Your life is a unique journey, a complicated, rich and daring tapestry of being
... a story waiting to be told.


  • Do you have a story to tell?

  • Do you want to explore the adventure that is your life through writing and memoir, but don't know how to begin?

  • Have you already started to write your memoir, but don't know how to continue?

  • Is there a nagging voice in your head that says you have be a "real writer" in order to write your memoir... or berates you as being a fool to think anyone would want to read about you?
    Then this mentorship program may be just what you need!memoir writing, memoir as a healing journey

    Writing Your Story, Creating a Tapestry of Your Life is a program that I have developed over thirty years of coaching people on the writing and creative journeys. The program is completely individualized to meet your needs. Call it memoir writing or the journey of the soul. Call it autobiography or inner work. Call it your life story, known and unknown, or the opening of self to self. Call it a prayer. There is no clear-cut definition of this amazing process that we unfold together.


Some Intentions of the Journey...
  • To answer the inner voice calling you to explore your life through writing.

  • To embrace the passion, adventure and deeper truth of who you are.

  • To heal.

  • To record for those we love how we live, what is important to us and how we perceive our place in the world. (This may or may not be a goal for you. But if you want to write to tell your story for your family, I will support you in this.)

Our journey together is not limited to these intentions and is as boundless as your imagination. I will work with you as midwife to facilitate the birthing of the story or stories within you waiting to be born.

Your life is worth exploring and being told…

"Emily's acceptance of what I put forth is awesome and inspiring." 

~ Marcia Lang

"I am awed by your insights and wise-woman magic. You created a safe and wonderful womb space for us and I am just one of the women who gave birth to a new and magical part of herself. The Lavender Lady is a deeply feeling part of me and I've suffered without her. Thanks for helping me reclaim her and for all you did for me this weekend and along the way. I am blessed to have you as a guide and teacher....

~ Vallerie Huyghue, after a Creativity Workshop

"In each of us flows a river, pooling at times into a sea, other times running swift... Gathering and surging, this water of the soul is neither channeled nor bound by a neat "process." Yet there are means, or a least knowings, recognitions, by which it may be transformed... This is Emily's genius..."

~ Kurt Blankmeyer
