The editor of Higher Self Habits®, Laura Kaiser, will be offering support leading up to the retreat as well as onsite in Sedona! Imagine being at the retreat and hitting writer's block... then walking over to Laura and getting clarity on the path forward. She will also be leading a number of virtual workshops leading up to the event.

Laura has helped countless authors navigate the often daunting journey from first draft to a book they’re proud of. An editor with a specialized focus on business, memoir, and personal development books, she loves to team up with authors to get to the heart of their story. Laura helps writers find the strength in their writing and guides them in crafting a book that deeply connects with their readers. With an array of bestsellers in her editorial portfolio, Laura is a coveted partner for authors eager to make their mark on the world through impactful writing.

Described by past clients as “an outstanding editor, a teacher, friend, and an excellent co-pilot,” she is recognized not just for her editorial expertise, but also for her dedication to the success of every project. For those looking to elevate their manuscript and leave a legacy through their words, Laura is the perfect ally.

Erika Peterson is a certified Crystal Tones® practitioner and professional singer who blends her deep musical roots with sound meditation. She weaves sound with her many years of performance to create an artistic, restorative, and safe environment for all.

Through immersive meditative concerts featuring crystal alchemy bowls and live vocals, Erika guides participants into deep rest and reflection. Her sessions are designed to calm the nervous system and induce theta brainwave states— softening the inner noise and allowing creative insight to surface. 

Erika will be providing song and sound baths nightly on the rooftop lawn before bedtime. (Peep the testimonials to see what past attendees had to say about her one-of-a-kind song and sound baths!)

I am beyond excited to announce a NEW addition to your support team, Amanda Miller, an incredible self-publishing consultant!

A writer herself, Amanda is passionate about saving authors from making costly mistakes on publishing their books. She believes there is NO reason you should be losing your rights, royalties, and having to give up making creative decisions on YOUR book in order to publish it.

She has managed over 150 authors across a variety of genres (including children’s books) and will navigate you through the entire publishing process. Perhaps more importantly, she’ll guide you to the right people; the vendors who bring your book alive.

Imagine a sherpa who guides climbers to avoid getting lost or making fatal mistakes. Amanda is that... for your book. She will save you thousands of dollars by avoiding costly missteps.

While Amanda will be a huge value to all authors in attendance, I foresee her being incredibly valuable to those who are in later stages of the process and gearing up for their book launch. If that's you, definitely add on the optional fifth night to go deeper on implementation!

And finally, I’ll be there to support you in every way I can! Whether it’s pep talks, accountability check-ins, celebrating your wins, or helping you set up the tech you need for a seamless and successful launch—I’ve got you. And of course, I’ll be doing some Italian cooking that is molto bene! I’ll also be working on my next bestseller right alongside you, and I’m already counting down the days to soak up all that juicy creative energy together.

If we haven’t met yet, here’s the TL;DR:
I’m a two-time bestselling author (Higher Self Habits® and Fully Expressed). I wrote these books to share the hard-won lessons that helped me grow into the woman I knew I was meant to be—and, let’s be real, to grow my business, fill my coaching programs, and become a sought-after speaker.

If you’re a woman who knows her purpose is tied to greater impact and income, I want to help you leverage your book to make that happen! Believe me when I say: if you're a female entrepreneur, you have a book in you!

I created this retreat because I know firsthand how hard it is to find focused, distraction-free time and space to write. What started as a solution to my own writing struggles quickly grew into something bigger, with even more support (thanks to the amazing team above). This is the second Sedona Soul Scribe retreat, and I’m absolutely giddy about how it’s evolving and elevating. I’d love for you to be part of it!
