In Beyond Affirmations, a 2-hour intensive workshop, learn how stop fighting your resistance with science-backed mind-body tools that actually work!
"Rachael is literally the only reason I finished and sold my book." - Anne L.
Do you keep meaning to write but then you just…don’t?
You promise yourself you’ll write, but as the time draws close to open your laptop, your chest tightens, your shoulders creep up, and you suddenly you need to rearrange your paperclips—anything but face that blank page.
Your mind says “just write,” but your body has other plans. When you finally sit down with good intentions, within minutes you’re fidgeting, trapped in your own skin.
This isn’t your fault. You’re not doing anything wrong (and you’re not alone). Your nervous system is protecting you, and sternly telling yourself to buckle down won’t help.
Forget generic affirmations that feel fake. You’ll learn how to build believable bridges from where you are now to where you want to be:
The workshop is just two hours, but those hours are packed with tools you’ll start using immediately, inside the workshop itself!
The replay will be sent to all registered participants, and you can rewatch anytime!
12pm – 2pm PT / 3pm – 5pm ET
2-hour duration, hosted on Zoom
You’ll be taken to the Buy page, where you can use Paypal or any major credit card to pay.
You’ll get an email from Rachael with all the details, including what to bring with you to the workshop.
Put your new tools to use, and write with greater ease than you’ve had in a very long time.
“Months later, I’m still feeling the ripple effects of your workshop retreat. I can’t thank you enough.”
“Rachael has this amazing blend of expertise combined with encouraging energy that left me feeling capable and even excited to move forward. I will forever utilize the skills I learned in this masterclass!”
“Rachael showered us with enthusiasm, encouragement, and craft tips (and some laughs). She gave us belief in ourselves as real writers, and helped us find our own process as writers, not someone else’s.”
Rachael Herron is the internationally bestselling author of more than two dozen books, including thrillers (under R.H. Herron), mainstream fiction, feminist romance, memoir, and nonfiction about writing.
She received her MFA in writing from Mills College, Oakland, and she’s taught writing extension workshops at both UC Berkeley and Stanford. Her students finish books (and sell them).
A dual New Zealand and American citizen, she lives in Wellington, New Zealand with her banjo-playing wife and brick-eating dog.
No more wishful thinking. These techniques are adapted from proven therapeutic approaches and specifically designed for creative challenges.
You’ll feel the difference in your body and mind during the workshop itself. No waiting weeks to see if it “works.”
Walk away with specific techniques you can use every single day to maintain your creative flow state.
A: No, this workshop focuses specifically on creative applications and writing challenges. These are simplified versions of therapeutic tools, adapted for writing purposes only. If you’re dealing with trauma or significant mental health concerns, please work with a qualified therapist. Rachael is a very qualified and expert cheerleader, but she’s not a therapist.
A: Perfect! You already know that generic positive thinking doesn’t always work the way we want it to. This approach specifically addresses why those methods fail and gives you believable alternatives that your nervous system can actually accept.
A: Just bring yourself, something to write with, and an open mind. All techniques are gentle and accessible regardless of your physical condition or writing experience level.
A: While the live experience is powerful, you’ll receive a recording and all materials. However, spots are limited for the live session, so secure yours now.
Absolutely – you can get a full refund up to one day before the workshop itself. Unfortunately, after that, there are no refunds available.
