Sliding Scale Pay from the Heart
Join us for a powerful and nourishing circle as we explore what it truly means to embody spiritual sovereignty, a lived experience of wholeness where we stand in our truth, rooted in lineage, guided by our inner wisdom, and aligned with our deepest values.
This is a pay-from-the-heart offering, and 100% of proceeds will be donated to the Palestine Children’s Relief Fund, supporting urgent medical and humanitarian care for children and families.
You already know you have a book in you.
You’ve known it for quite a while. Perhaps you’ve circled it for years, returning to it in quiet moments, setting it aside when life demanded otherwise, feeling its pull even when you couldn’t quite name its shape.
What you may not have had, until now, is a place that takes both you and your book seriously. Not just the mechanics of writing, but the full weight of what you are carrying. The story, yes. The process, yes. The knowledge, yes. And the human who has lived it.
Your book is waiting. And so is the writer inside you.
At Ancestral Narrative, we help women and femmes write real books, books that carry your voice, your authority, and the full depth of what you know. We specialize in hybrid nonfiction (your original framework+story) and memoir.
Whether you are someone who writes on the page or someone whose wisdom moves most naturally through speaking, we have a path for you.
You will work with a dedicated story coach and a human editor who understands nuance, voice, and the unique intelligence you bring.
You will finish with a manuscript that is undeniably yours, whether you write it with our support, or speak it aloud and have us revise and edit it.
Either way, this is not a course. It is not a template.
It is a guided, deeply supported process of bringing your book into the world, from its first breath all the way through to a finished, published manuscript.
But there’s something else we do here, too.
For thousands of years, women and femmes were the keepers of story. The ones who tended the oral traditions, the healing knowledge, the relational wisdom, the sacred cosmologies that held communities together. This was not a minor footnote.
It was at the center of everything.
Patriarchy didn’t just silence individual women. It systematically displaced an entire way of knowing.
It replaced matriarchal story cultures with colonial, institutional structures that decided whose voice counted as authority, whose experience counted as knowledge, whose life counted as worth recording.
The stories that survived were primarily the stories of those who held power.
That displacement lives in your body. Many of those who come to us arrive with their book half-written inside them and a voice at least partially silenced by generations of colonial and/or patriarchal oppression they didn’t choose.
Most all of us absorbed, somewhere along the way, a set of unspoken rules about how much space we were allowed to take up.
Be insightful, but don’t “show off.”
Be powerful, but not too powerful.
Be spiritual, but keep it contained.
Write, but make sure it doesn’t threaten anyone.
These aren’t personal failures.
These are simply reflections of the water we all swim in, centuries of cultural, institutional, and familial indoctrination that shaped what felt safe to say, and what didn’t.
Supremacist conditioning of any kind is somatic. It lived deep in our bodies and in the land. It lives in the voices of your ancestors.
It lives in the hesitation before you speak.
In the shrinking before you fully claim the page.
In the way your throat closes up when it whispers, “who are you to say this?”
The majority of folks who arrive at my door have done a lot of inner work.
While it’s an ongoing process, you know that you are ready to experience the breakthrough of writing and publishing the book.
You are looking for the room, and the support, to finally stop editing yourself and claim the story only you can tell, in the way you want to share it.
Our process is built to offer exactly that.
You begin with a Family Constellation, “Igniting the Spirit of the Book,” which allows you to explore and identify your One Reader, your message, your framework and the stories you will include.
This is somatic, ancestral retrieval work. We move through the body, through the lineage, through the places where your voice was taught to go quiet. After that we move into the practical building of the scaffolding of the book itself.
The result is not just a manuscript. It is a reclamation on a soul level as well as your liberatory calling card for your Future Self.
Why this work matters, now more than ever.
Culture is shaped by story. Story, over time, becomes myth. And myth becomes the invisible architecture of what generations yet to come believe is possible.
For a very long time, the dominant myths have been written by those who colonized land, imagination and women and children’s bodies.
Patriarchy and colonization don’t just take territory. They poach narratives. They steal your humanity. They decide what counts as history, what counts as wisdom, what counts as a story worth telling.
Your book is an act of authorship in the oldest sense of the word. And, it’s a way of positioning your wisdom, your process and/or your story at the center of your work in the world and in your life.
Your book is a contribution to the living record of what it means to be human. It can be part of the larger restoration that is being called for at this critical time in the history of Earth and our species.
When women and femmes write their books, they are not just telling their stories. They are not just sharing their framework or their wisdom. They are returning something to the world that was taken.
If something in this has stirred a recognition, I would be honored to be part of bringing your book into the world.
This work requires courage. It will ask you to stop minimizing the depth of what you carry, and to stop apologizing for the ground you are reclaiming.
You will be profoundly supported, every step of the way.
If this resonates, please feel free to sign up for a call to speak about our several options for moving forward on your book right now.
Warmly,
Tanya
“Though I was reluctant to be born, I was attracted by the music. I had plans. I was entrusted with carrying voices, songs and stories to grow and release into the world, to be of assistance and inspiration. These were my responsibility. I am not special. It is this way for everyone. We enter into a family story and then other stories based on tribal clans and tribal towns, lands, countries, planetary systems and universes. Yet we each have our own soul story to tend.”
