Wild Awakenings Livestream

What if the stories you're meant to tell are waiting on the other side of your fear? Join Cheryl Strayed, bestselling author of Wild, for a transformative three-day online workshop that teaches you how to access vulnerability as your greatest creative asset. At Omega Institute in Rhinebeck, NY, Strayed distills decades of craft mastery and hard-won wisdom into a program designed for writers ready to write with courage, authenticity, and depth. Whether you're beginning your first manuscript or seeking to deepen your voice, this livestream brings Omega's faculty directly into your home—removing the barrier between intention and action.

This isn't a workshop about techniques alone. Strayed teaches the consciousness required to write stories that matter. Through lectures grounded in her own journey and writing prompts that unlock deeper truths, you'll learn how fearlessness and the written word intertwine. You'll discover how to render your narratives with vividness, how to trust your voice, and how to transform lived experience into prose that resonates with readers. The livestream format honors both accessibility and depth—attend live or access recordings for six months afterward, creating space for integration and revision at your own pace.

Ideal for memoir writers, fiction writers seeking authenticity, and anyone called to tell stories that bridge the personal and universal.

What to Expect

Strayed guides participants through an immersive three-day journey combining:
