Whether you're a service-based practitioner, a holistic brand owner, or simply someone who wants to deepen their relationship with their writing, The Story Space offers a generous and gentle approach to writing. With our online courses, co-working calls, sharing circles, and expert guidance from resident and guest facilitators, you'll have all the tools and support you need to know yourself through your personal story.

As humans, we are wired for story. Our stories help us make sense of our experiences, connect with others, and create meaning in our lives. Ultimately, that’s what I’m devoted to. The power of stories, both memoir and mythic, to capture our essence and bring us closer to ourselves and each other

The Story Space, is designed to be intuitive, generous, and gentle. You'll be able to move through course material at your own pace, with ample support from Yana and her team, as well as twice-weekly live calls. We provide tools for intentional listening and reflection, so you can really get to know yourself on a deeper level and tap into your unique voice.

The Story Space is not just about courses and resources. It's about connection. You'll join co-working calls via Zoom to allocate time to your course modules or your own writing projects. You'll also join sharing circles to be heard, seen, and felt in your writing process and the stories you create. And you'll have access to our private Facebook group, where you can share your work, receive feedback, and connect with other Story Space humans.
