Gone are the days of fireside folklore.

Spooky tales of sorcery and shapeshifting to the tune of a fire spitting.

Yet such practices had a place: they brought people together.

Where do we go now to feel heard? To be present in our own story and participate in that of the community?

Too often, we’re left wondering what our wisdom is worth. And especially as we age, who would want it.

Still, telling our story is natural, beneficial, and utterly irresistable.

Story Fairy Sessions are a place to pen your story with the guidance of an experienced writer and storyteller.

But they’re so much more than that.

They’re a space for interaction and connection, vision and imagination, contemplation and celebration.

A unique opportunity to record your accomplishments, document your dreams, and commune with others.

To recall the joy. To relive the learning. To remember the creativity. And to leave no words unsaid.

Hi, I’m Lauren.

And I am what is referred to as an ‘old soul’.

Wise, intuitive, creative, and a tad rebellious!

Imagination was my first language.

As a child, I was shy and withdrawn, yet my inner world was rich, vibrant, and alive with possibililty.

Naturally, I immersed myself in literature and the arts. I studied for a Master’s in Literature with a focus on the storytelling tradition.

Over the past 15 years, I’ve honed my own practical magic, blending technical writing skill and intuitive talent to tease out and articulate the core themes and patterns that make your stories uniquely enchanting.

I have taught English language, academic writing, and creative self-expression in colleges and universities in Montreal and the UK, where I’m originally from.

I currently run a brand messaging and website copywriting business alongside legacy story projects. You could say I trade in stories, as our ancestors once did.

Story Fairy Sessions offer wholesome and heartfelt sessions to write the narrative, honour the journey, or weave the wisdom that lives within - even if the only person to benefit from it is you.

This is your chance to move from “I’ll share that someday” to “Look what I wrote today!”

There’s no dress code (!), expectation of prior experience, or even concrete objective needed. Simply come along with an open mind, a courageous heart, and a notebook dedicated to adventure.

  • After one class: you’ll feel more connected to your community, more confident in your stories you have to tell, and more capable of writing with creativity and personality.

  • After one session: you’ll have a collection of story capsules that express who you are, not just what you’ve done.

Join the waitlist for the next creative playshops in Beaurepaire, Beaconsfield.

“Lauren is a gift. She gives you the time and thoughtful consideration very few others do.

Her in-depth knowledge of age old traditions of storytelling and the communication humans crave, means she opens up a magical way for you to express your message at a very deep level.”

SARAH WALTON

“Lauren helped me find the red thread - linking my background, career, passion, and strengths in a circle - and formed my unique story.

I've been a visual person all my life. I could revise and reformulate my own story 100 times, and it would never come close to how it is written now.”

LU CAI

“In our sessions, I felt seen and that inspired me to be more vocal. We go into a creative trance together, and I don't notice time passing.

I always leave feeling re-energized and with a strong sense of purpose.”

VOICE DISCOVERY

Your words are a reflection of the company you keep and the voices you consume. Your writing style shaped by the good practices you have bound yourself to.

Spending time with your own voice allows connection with a truer expression, revealing the nature of your creativity.

CONFIDENCE BUILDING

Perhaps you were criticized for having poor grammar, you fear you have nothing significant to say, or you worry you’ll be misunderstood.

Stripping back the pressure to perform allows your story take shape effortlessly. A new confidence in your abilities ignites courage to continue — and resilience in other areas too.

PATTERN MAPPING

Your stories are interconnected, and you are the glue. As you write, you reveal patterns and themes between your ideas and experiences.

You may more keenly understand your journey, the charge held by certain memories, and the character traits make you who you are.

CONSCIOUS LIVING

Storytelling teaches the subtle art of noticing, which brings a deeper sense of presence, attention, and intention to your interactions with others and engagement with the world.

You start to appreciate the glimmers of magic and abundance of joy in and around you.

IMAGINATION IGNITION

Stories breed stories. The more you nurture your imagination, the more inspiration finds you. The more inspiration finds you, the more your wonder is expanded and expression liberated.

You begin to see yourself, your relationships, and your creativity with more awe and lightness. A childlike curiosity and belief in your own potential can increase joy and connection.

HOLDING & HEALING

The opposite of depression is not joy, it’s expression. Stories, just like emotions, hold an energetic charge, which is neither positive or negative when the current is kept in flow.

Expressing the stories you hold in your memory honours your journey, heals your heart, and closes outdated chapters to reveal space for new perspectives and possibilities.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • These are in-person, community-based workshops held in the heart of Montreal’s West Island. Our upcoming sessions are in a small and cosy art studio in The Little Yellow House, Beaconsfield South.

  • There is nothing to ‘figure out’ or prepare in advance of these sessions.

    Please bring along a pen and notebook that you’d like to dedicate to this process of exploration and expression.

  • Sessions run in cycles of 10 classes. Registration is for the full 10-week session.

    This commitment enables a sense of community (you see the same people each time) and story development (your skills deepen and your project advances).

    For this reason, there is no single-session sign up available.

  • Depending on where we are in the cycle, this is possible. Please send me an email to enquire.

  • While our skills and stories continue to develop from week to week, each session is singular in focus, so you can skip a session without having missed essential material.

    Thank you for understanding that missed sessions are not refunded. However, you are free to transfer your seat for a friend or family member to enjoy the session in your place.

  • You can reach me anytime via email. Simply scroll down and click on ‘contact’ at the bottom of this page. I aim to respond within one or two business days.
