WHAT TO expect for this sacred gathering:

Writing your first book often begins long before the words land on the page. It starts with a quiet knowing—a story, a passion, a lived experience, a flutter, an offering, or a body of work that you know in your bones wants to be shaped and shared. And just as often, it’s met with uncertainty: Where do I begin? Who am I to write this? How do I make this real and tangible?

This Tender Teaching is an invitation to approach your book proposal with care, clarity, and self-compassion. To know that you are the anchor, the magic, and that you have so much embodied wisdom to bring your dreams to life. 

This session supports you in understanding the structure of a book proposal while staying connected to the heart of your work, instead of focusing on urgency or productivity. Zabie will walk you through the essential components of a strong proposal—what it is, what it isn’t, and how to build one that reflects both your voice and your values.

Rather than forcing a book into existence, this invitation is to create a container sturdy enough to hold your ideas, without rushing your process. A way to bring all of your beautiful ideas and post it notes into a structure and tangible plan. 

Zabie Yamasaki is an award winning trauma-informed educator, yoga trainer, author, and sought after consultant and speaker, as well as the founder of Transcending Trauma through Yoga. She has published 7 different publications and has been a contributing author to several books in the field of trauma-informed care and somatics. In this webinar, she will offer tangible support and guidance to those who dream of writing their own book one day. With gentleness, compassion, and always a trauma-informed lens, you will leave this webinar with inspiration and guidance to move your book idea and passions into a tangible proposal and plan. 

This is a virtual space for curiosity, without the pressure of a finished manuscript or the need to have it all figured out. Together, we will begin your journey toward your book with tenderness and compassion, so you can leave feeling clearer, steadier, and more trusting of your voice and your beautiful ideas.
