schedule a session with writing mentor jane brunette

schedule your mentoring sessions.

Mentoring is done internationally by Zoom or phone. Sessions are sliding scale. Please choose a fee from the scale that feels both generous and sustainable. Those who are abundant financially, please be generous and pay at the top of the scale so that I have the means to nurture the voices of those who have access to fewer resources. Writers in developing countries or with very limited resources who feel resonant with my approach but can’t afford my listed rates, let's talk about it in the free session.

FREE 30-MINUTE INtRODUCTORY CONSULTATION.

We will discuss your needs related to mentoring and I will answer your questions about my approach so we can see if it is a good fit for us to work together.

Email me with your time zone to set up this session.

weekend solo writing retreat.

A solo writing retreat at a location of your choice supports you in a self-directed process that is tailored to your needs. The retreat can be done to establish a strong writing practice, to work with the freewrites you've been generating in your practice, or to make headway on a book or other writing project. For less than the cost of a group retreat, you will receive a great deal of individualized attention, and you will have the time and space to digest and work with what you are learning. This potent process can bring you to a whole new level in your writing and expression.

How it works:

We first meet by phone to discuss your intentions and create a structure and schedule for your retreat time. You decide where you want to stay and make the relevant arrangements. You could bring your laptop to a nice airbnb or a pile of notebooks to a tent by the river. The only requirement is that you have access to adequate internet or phone service for us to do our sessions.
We will schedule a one-hour phone session on each of your two retreat days at a time that will fit best your process. We can meet early in the day to get you writing, mid-day to address concerns that came up in your morning writing session, or late in the day to look together at what you produced. If you would like more than one session a day, additional sessions can be added at the same cost as my package rates.

This package price includes 3 sessions: 1 planning session in advance of the retreat, and one session on each day of your retreat.

Email me with any questions and to set up a free 30-minute consultation to discuss the possibilities.

I just finished a solo long-distance writing retreat with Jane. To say I am thrilled is an understatement. Jane is a relaxed, attentive and wise teacher. I experienced her as a unique and exceptional guide — for both one’s writing and awakening.
