You are here because you feel a story swirling in the center of your gut and chasing you in your dreams.

You are here because you have a voice that yearns for release.

You are here because you've got a stack of journals dating back to grade school, but have rarely dared share your soul-spillings with a single soul.

You are here becausewords move you, transport you, carry you away.And because somewhere deep down inside you know that you have that magic living in you.

You are here because you have been hiding too long, and it is time to step into the light. YOUR time to be seen and heard.

You are here because it is time to drop the excuses, release the justifications and refuse to play small.

You are here because it is time to write.

Unleashed is a dynamic 12-week writing workshop.

A safe space of ultimate permission.

Where the community is as important as the words, and the spirit is way more important than technique.

A place where your story - as raw and real and beautiful as you - is finally set free. 

Is Unleashed right for you? 

• Are you intimidated by writing and think it's something other, more talented people do?
• Do you ever feel like your life is too boring and mundane to give you enough zing to create anything truly memorable?
• Are you scared you’ll pour your heart and soul into your blog and nobody will read?
• Do you need  to tap into a well of authentic content for your business.
• Do you crave the ability to write words that are filled with your spirit and different from the rest, but have absolutely no idea where to begin? 
• Are you seeking a community of fellow wild-hearted writers?
• Do you want to be a part of something bigger - a creative movement of kindred spirits joining together to blast through barriers and put their words out into the world?

YES, YOU WANT TO WRITE

But most of the time - maybe all of the time - you don't.

You don't because writing is scary.

You don't write because you tell yourself that writing is for other people - and those people are far more fascinating and have way more talent than you.

You don't write because you don't have enough time and nobody would really want to write anyway.

At least that is what you tell yourself.

I know the voices that keep you from telling your story - because for years they kept me from mine.

IT IS TIME TO QUIET THOSE VOICES FOR GOOD.

It is time to unleash YOUR voice.

But you say you're not a writer?

Nonsense. Being a writer has nothing to do with publishing books or fame and fortune - and everything to do with a relentless pull toward the story of things.

You, my dear, are most definitely a writer. If you were not, you wouldn't be here.

"As you move through the weeks of Unleashed, you may wonder - am I breaking into my voice or breaking under the skin of my truths? The answer is yes. This course is about cracking open with ink. Jeanette holds a space to allow all the big, slippery, messy, strange, beautiful, tricky words to surface and be witnessed. She’s not afraid to coax them out of you either, if you give her just that inch. With that pulsing, visceral voice of hers, she immerses you into raw and revealing territory that stirs up the rare questions, and the diverse weekly guests bring in prism angles of insight and inspiration. This offering is not really a course at all. It’s a community of writers unafraid to run up to the verge."

Aimee Hansen

So,what are we going to do?

We are going to dive deep into the fierce journey of unearthing your voice. We’re going to coax and seduce and cajole your inner Hemingway (or Bukowski, or Woolf, or Cheryl Strayed or whoever the hell makes your pulse sing that song of recognition) into glorious reality.

These 12 weeks will be an exercise of trust and passion with a serious side of moxie.

It’s gonna be real.

Because here’s the thing:
I KNOW that you have words in you. I believe that you have a story to tell, and that nobody else can tell it but you.

Unleashed is about making a commitment to that story.

It is about you stepping up and owning the voice that lives inside of you - giving it space to breathe and live and grow.

This is about ditching your inside voice and getting loud.

The world needs to hear what you have to say – and together we are going to help you say it.

Week Five: Completion Week: A week of space to dig deeper into the exercises that are demanding more of your attention.

Week Ten: Completion Week: A week of space to dig deeper into the exercises that are demanding more of your attention.

Full 12 week workshop = $397.

PAYMENT PLANS AVAILABLE Pay in 4 easy installments of $110

Each week we'll host a live call with a talented guest from the world of writing to dive deeply into that week's theme and to talk inspiration, process and the courage to unleash.

How it’s going to go down:

After your purchase you’ll join the others in our private Facebook group.  Here, the focus is on safety and connection. This space is private and inclusive. We go deep and open wide and together our stories come to life in a way they could not otherwise.

The group will also be your home for the twelve weeks - for writing prompts, inspiration and encouragement. Included in the 12 week course are two weeks devoted just to catch up and completion - so we can dive deeper into the exercises that call our attention and move closer to the work that is pulling us forward into deeper creation.

For the 12 weeks of the course you’ll receive weekly emails that will contain downloadable chapters of the Unleashed book – packed full of inspirational quotes, popular essays from {peace.love.free} and unconventional writing exercises and prompts that will push you out of your comfort zone, past the excuses and into the space where words flow wild and free.

Once a week we’re going to throw a little soiree. It’s BYOB (you are, however, welcome to send me wine or whiskey - anytime) and come as you are. You will have access to a live Q&A call with some of my favorite writerly friends and gurus. We’ll riff about words and prose and how we seduce the damn muse. We’ll chat on the sometimes-difficult reality of melding writing and life and answer your burning questions. You definitely won’t want to miss the party.

At the end of our adventure, when we’re all a little more gritty and windblown and high on words, you’ll get to download the complete book and workbook along with additional bonus exercises to keep the words flowing long into the future.

And remember - once a Wild Heart Writer, ALWAYS a Wild Heart Writer. When Unleashed is over you'll be welcomed into The Wild Heart Writers Collective and continue as a part of our family of writers.

"If you want to dive deep... If words mesmerize you, move you, shake you to your core at times... If you want community and support as you sink and soar into the depths of yourself... Unleashed is for you. Jeanette has a bewitching way with words. She helps peel back the layers so you can see in new ways. Her questions challenge and delight. That alone is worth the cost of the course, but that's not all that happens in Unleashed. Yes, your perspective grows and shifts and your writing transforms, absolutely. Yet, one of Jeanette's most stellar talents is creating community. The tribe you meet in her programs are phenomenal creatives of all sorts who congregate to support one another on the journey. It's a welcoming, open-hearted, safe space to stretch your wings (especially if you're new to writing or the thought of sharing your words makes you quake in your boots).
I cannot say enough good things about this woman and the wild magic she weaves through her programs. When I started with her, I never dared to share my words beyond a few close friends. Now, I'm a regular contributor to an online blog (not mine), have pieces coming out in print anthologies this year, and am working on a memoir project and a book of poetry. I've grown by leaps and bounds as a writer which was infinitely easier to do because I got used to sharing in the Wild Hearts Community where there's so much loving support, it helps quell the little voices inside that make a body tremor at the thought of "saying THAT" out loud, so others could hear.
If you want to write, if you dream of words, if your heart feels called to the page, Unleashed and the Wild Heart Writers are one of the best gifts you could give to yourself."

"The only way out is through" I was told when I began one of Jeanette LeBlanc's courses a little over a month ago. I wanted to write, but I was struggling, abhorred by my own demons and repelled by my own fear. Little by little she drew that out of me. I knew deep down that I had something to say - but what I didn't realize is that my words had the power to stir something just as deep inside other people. It was like throwing rocks into a very still pond. Blinded by particles of our own stories of sadness and loss and introspection that had stayed dormant for the longest time, we began to write like our very lives depended on it until we emerged, gasping for air - our limbs deadened from exhaustion but surging with pride.
While I was doing that course, 36 years of stories surfaced. The ones that I have hushed and begged and pleaded to stay quiet and still, would no longer stay dormant in the water. I have written my way through most of them and I can tell you - that this is by far one of the bravest things I have ever done.
Through this experience I have met some of the most breathtakingly talented writers, who I am now proud to call friends and more than anything, I want to step up and take the next level, write the rest of my stories and unleash the novel inside of me, as well.
I hope you'll come along too. Because deep down you want to write. Because you have stories of your own that you hush and keep still in your own silent pond. Because you have no idea whose heart can be healed by your words (yes you), and if that is the case - in the immortal words of William Chapman - "If you can touch one heart with what's in yours, you were not only meant to be a writer, you are obligated."

Erica Wheadon

Hello, lovely.

I'm Jeanette - and I believe deeply in the transformative and revolutionary power of YOUR story. I believe that a writer isn't made by publication or fancy degrees or accolades or legions of fans (though those are lovely) but by the simple act of writing their lives through the burning stories that live within.

And I believe that YOU are a writer. If you weren't - you wouldn't be here. And because you are here - because you were called to this page by some mystery or serendipity or intention - I also believe that you are ready. Ready to unleash. Ready to unbind. Ready to release the chains that have been holding you down and to leave behind the stories that keep you small.

It is time. You are ready. Write yourself free.

xo.
