Together we will write your book. We'll start with a few creative exercises, using storytelling and impulsive writing that will set the stage for your imagination. Then we'll begin the writing process where I share some tips & techniques to bring out your book. Finally, we will work on your individual stories and any road blocks you have with the writing and publishing process.

I’ll teach you how to write, edit, and publish your book. We’ll start by going over the writing process and organizing your book in a simplified way to help make the writing process smoother. Then, I’ll share tips on editing and layouts, followed by a discussion on getting published. If you’re a freelance writer, I can also share resources on how to get started if you’re interested in making writing your career.

I will begin with introductions and then we will begin. We will begin by going over the outline process, as it is crucial to the success of the writing process. Next, we will discuss the meat of the story and how to begin your story with the bare bones. After we have the plot thoroughly down, we will begin our descriptions. The next step, is character development and I will show you as to why this is so important for the success of your book. Lastly, we will discuss dialogue and practice writing dialogue effectively. We will also dabble a bit with the editing process.

You will arrive in silence & get settled and we will ground our energies in the space. I will play crystal singing bowls to begin our journey together. We will sit on the floor (sofa available if needed) and remain in silence while I serve the first 3 cups of Living Tea. This is an opportunity to let the Tea integrate into the body & move the Chi. I will then welcome you to the space & check in to see how you are feeling in the moment & if you have anything you might feel called to share. As the Tea moves the energy, conversation seems to unfold effortlessly and with a flair towards more conscious topics & less day to day logistics. I will tune in & choose Oracle cards for you if this feels in concurrence with how you are feeling. You are also welcome to choose your own cards. The format flows with the moment & the sharings are free to expand as they unfold. You are welcome to stop drinking at any time, although I do encourage you to enjoy the benefits the Tea has to offer. After about an hour and a half, I will close the ceremony & be grateful for your presence. There is an ancient Chinese saying..."drink tea, make friends". I am passionate about the power of ceremonial tea, this is not available in most stores. Other things to note It is wise to wear clothes to be comfortable sitting on the carpet in.

Love hiking and coffee? You've found the right place. We have over 300 waterfalls around Brevard and searching different trail websites gets confusing to try and pick which one to visit, so I will make it easy, we’ll visit three of my personal favorites along a 3 mile loop. The terrain is mostly flat, gravel trail with one steep section (about 70 yards) that will get your heart pumping, but the views are worth the climb. Here's our plan. 1. We will meet at The Hooker Falls Parking Area in DuPont State Forest. We'll hike to Hooker Falls first. Easy, breezy hike. 2. Near the second waterfall, Triple Falls, we will break for coffee. You will explore the area around falls and I will collect water from the waterfall and use a backpacking water filtration system - the same type of system I used while hiking the Appalachian Trail. Great water makes for even better coffee. You'll taste and see. I will have ALL the coffee brewing supplies in my backpack including my own line of coffee roasted with local roaster, Pisgah Coffee Roasters. 3. We'll sit and enjoy some time in nature before hiking on to High Falls, a stunning end to our adventure. It’s my favorite waterfall in the area. Along the way, I'm also happy to answer any and all questions you may have about long distance backpacking or about what to do in the Brevard area. I LOVE this town too much! Other things to note If you finish the coffee hike and feel like the experience exceeded your expectations, tipping is appreciated but not expected or required. Sometimes it rains, and we can hike in light rain. But if it is storming, fret not! I have a backup plan. We can seek shelter in the pavilion near the falls
