Story Alchemy is a writing practice that combines three essential elements:
The Nature of Narrative, Mindful Awareness and the Craft of Writing.
Inside each of us lies a treasure of stories that reveal our truth, essence, and our connection to all things. But what's not always clear is how to translate our lived wisdom to the page. Story Alchemy combines the art of excavating the wonder and darkness of our sometimes messy lives with the craft of bringing our stories to life.
You will discover the narrative arcs that connect you to your past, to your future and to the world around you. You will settle your mind and see old stories with new eyes. You will emerge a better writer who knows how to write your truth and share it with the world.

Whether you consider yourself a writer or someone with gems to share, there’s a format and timeframe that works for you and your life.
Hi! I’m Kristin Kaye, the creator of Story Alchemy.
Writer. Mother. Lover of alliteration. Meditator. Tree Dreamer. Alchemist.
My twenty + years as author, ghostwriter and book coach has spanned coasts and industries—from theater in New York and writing interactive TV pilots in San Francisco during the tech boom to completing an MFA/MA in Creative Non-fiction. I have penned a few books along the way, including my memoir Iron Maidens: The Celebration of the Most Awesome Female Muscle in the World (Avalon/ Thunder’s Mouth Press), Tree Dreams: A Novel (Spark Press) and a forthcoming book, True Wealth: The 7 Essentials of Aligned Living, written with Matt Ludmer.
Ghostwriting has taken me deep into many worlds from business, design and finance to spirituality, Integral theory, and Tibetan Buddhism, with articles in Fast Company, Business Week, Harvard Business Review and more and books landing with literary agents.
But when my life as a writer combined with insights gained from being a meditation teacher, things got really interesting. This overlap offered intimate access into our very human stories. I have crafted a process for mining the beauty and darkness of our sometimes messy lives for that flash of insight or the slow burn that one day becomes revelation. This is what Story Alchemy helps writers deliver to the page. It's been a privilege to share this work in workshops and events at schools, colleges and organizations across the U.S. Learn more at kristinkaye.com. (Photo by Margot Duane)

Testimonials
One the the best decisions I've made
This was one of the best decisions I’ve made for myself. This work came at a pivotal moment when I was in the thick of a personal transformation. Kristin held space for me and gave me really good advice when I hit writer's block halfway through the course. I loved this course so much!
A life changing experience
Like the alchemy practices of old, turning base metal to gold, this class turned my base thoughts about 2020 into the gold of growth and learning. This class is a life changing experience and Kristin is a masterful teacher.
