Walking toward your story, together.
“I can tell you that on this path there will be help.”
Jan Richardson, “Beloved is Where We Begin”
If you've ever...
Wanted to write but don't know where to start....
Worried that your stories aren’t worth telling…or wondered why they matter…
Wandered off into the weeds of narrative possibilities and struggled to find your way through the morass…
I'm a story sherpa.
I walk with you toward your story.
Hello, fellow wanderer!
I’m Nicole C. Livengood.
I like to describe myself as a story sherpa.
What does this look like? It means that I:
-
teach classes and workshops on topics including the changing body, haiku, and spiritual autobiography
-
ghostwrite and freelance everything from memoirs to blog posts
-
listen and hold stories as a fledgling spiritual director
-
provide opportunities for people to revisit, revise, and create the stories they carry
It means I accompany people at all stages of their storytelling journeys.
I haven't always been a story sherpa. In 2024, I left behind an award-winning career in Higher Education because I felt the pull…the call…to find new, enlivening work for my hands and heart. To walk toward my own story, to find something…ineffable.
When I exited the academic career track for this new life, I wondered what I would discover. Each step along the winding trail has confirmed my direction and my heart: accompanying people in their life wonderings and wanderings. I would love to sherpa your story!
