What’s involved?
This learning opportunity is a powerful combination of group coaching, one-on-one support, self paced enquiry, writing and book creation. Over 4 months will walk two distinct yet interrelated paths.
The first path will take you inwards, you will move through limiting beliefs and discover what sparks gratitude, joy, awe and wonder within you and what makes you feel expansive, creative, loving and alive.
The second path is a deep dive into storytelling, writing best practice, chapter structure and professional editing.
Both these paths will then converge and you will meet a version of yourself who feels confident to share and celebrate their unique love story.
As you walk path one, you will…
Strengthen and expand your meditation practice
Deepen your understanding of yourself
Identify and let go of limiting beliefs and narratives
Build self-belief and confidence
Experience gratitude, awe and wonder, connection and inspiration
Connect with a renewed appreciation for life and your place in it

As you walk path two, you will…

Receive 2 formal, and one informal round of edits
Understand the power of sharing your story both for you and your reader
Receive support and guidance as you navigate the creative path
Learn from Fleur’s personal and professional experience of co-authoring four books, authoring two books and curating one anthology with 17 international writers.
When the two paths meet, you will…
Feel buoyed by confidence to share and celebrate
Feel more love in all aspects of your life
Feel proud and excited to share the beautiful book you have contributed to
Understand how connected all aspects of our lives are
When Love Caught Me By Surprise
Stories of finding love in unexpected ways
We all yearn for love. We want to give it without expecting anything in return. We want to receive it without wondering if we really deserve it. But amidst our over-scheduled, tech driven lives, love can feel allusive. When we can’t find the time to get to the gym, call our sister or clear out our inbox, how can we expect to find, maintain and nurture the kind of love we long for, that’s etched in our DNA. Add to this the growing culture of scarcity, where we are told we aren’t enough or loveable, and we find ourselves thinking that love is for other people, not us.
When Love Caught Me By Surprise is an antidote to the sense of fear, loneliness and disconnection that so many of us feel. Full of wisdom, honesty, hope and raw human experiences from around the globe, it demonstrates that we can all find love, and often in the most unlikely places.
This book is essential reading for anyone who wants to believe in love.
What’s included
A 4 month experience where you receive all the support you need to not only write a great chapter, but also to believe in yourself and your story’s capacity to touch and inspire others. Through weekly zoom calls, guided meditations, writing prompts, group discussion and informative PDF’s you will identify your love story, the main characters, write an engaging story and believe in your capacity to connect with others.
8 x 90 minute Zoom sessions. These are weekly meetings with your co-authors, facilitated by Fleur Chambers. These sessions will strengthen your meditation practice, deepen your understanding of yourself and your life and build self belief. They will also provide practical guidance about writing, along with accountability, structured writing time, and a sense of connection.
Professional editorial feedback. You will receive 2 professional edits of your chapter. The first edit is a big picture review that will provide feedback around structure, storyline, themes, flow, pace etc. This edit is done by an award winning editor who provided this exact support to Fleur for both her best-selling books. The second edit will capture the small details and provide the final polish to ensure that your chapter is of professional quality.
Private webpage where you can access all zoom recordings, additional guided meditations, writing prompts, structural writing guides and PDFs. Here you will find everything you need to identify your story, write and share it with confidence.
One-on-one coaching session with Fleur. This 45 minute zoom call will provide personal support either before your first or second draft.
Pre-launch meeting and resources including guidance and direction about how to promote and market your book (if that interests you).
International online book launch celebration - this will be held via zoom, you can attend on your own or invite family, friends or colleagues.
IRL book launch celebration - this will be held in Melbourne, Australia
You will receive one hard copy of the book in the mail.
You can purchase 10 additional copies of the book at cost price.
Books about famous people entertain us. Books that honour and celebrate everyday people showing up for their one precious life with courage, gratitude, grit and reverence inspire and heal us.
Do you have a story to share?
Who Am I?
I’m Fleur, best-selling author, multi-award winning mediation teacher and philanthropist.
Through my books, guided meditations and online courses I help people of all ages and life-stages understand and befriend themselves and experience a sense of gratitude, wonder and reverence for this wild ride called life (the joys and the challenges).
My journey to becoming an author and creator of the boutique publishing house, The Fleur Chambers Press began when I co-authored a book on courage and confidence. I not only fell in love with writing but also with the opportunity to connect the dots between different aspects of my life, namely, how conditioning from our childhood impacts how we walk through life as an adult. I quickly went on to co-author another three books, and write two of my own, Ten Pathways and Wholehearted Confidence.
Whilst writing felt authentic and joyful, the process also brought up a lot of self-doubt, fear of being judged, vulnerability and I’m totally honest, anxiety. These feelings caught me off guard, and it was only afterwards that I learnt how common it is to experience these different manifestations of fear as we share ourselves through writing.
And so I created Meditate, Write, Celebrate, an experience that not only supports you to write a professional standard chapter that engages and connects, but also provides support during the wobbly moments that are part of the writer's journey.
This 4 month experience weaves together my professional expertise with my personal loves, self-inquiry, creativity, mindful moments, resourcing ourselves through self-doubt, trusting in, and celebrating life.
Everyone has a story to tell. This experience will provide you with all the support you need to identify, write and share yours.
Cost and Commitment
This experience will cost $2,900 AUD per person.
This will cover both the learning component (8 x 90 minute zooms calls, course webpage with resources and one-on-one session) and the book creation element (chapter structure, the two rounds of
professional editing, book layout, printing, shipping, book promotion on Amazon etc).
You will receive one copy of the book. You can purchase 10 additional books at cost price.
Any profit made through my publishing house, The Fleur Chambers Press for the sale of these books will go towards the creation of libraries within disadvantaged schools in Bangladesh.
You will be required to commit your time to this process - approximately 30 minutes per day. Ideally you will also participate in all the Zoom calls so that together, we can create a book that feels coherent.
In order for the book to flow and feel like a family of stories following a similar structure and framework, you will be required to become familiar with the chapter structure, support documents, guided meditations and journaling prompts in the online portal. You are also required to take on board the editorial feedback.
Final points to consider
This is not an opportunity to promote your business or side hustle. It’s not appropriate to mention products or services or to offer professional advice.
Whilst you don’t need to have your chapter all mapped out before you begin, you do need to feel passionate about an area of love in your life. Love stories might include: falling in love with a place, your body after illness, a pet, grandchild, your career. Remember, we are looking for stories about love taking you by surprise, finding you when you least expected it, when you thought all hope was lost.
During the 4 month experience you will have the opportunity to flesh out all the details and map out the story.
Everyone can write. Everyone has a story to share. If this experience calls you, don’t let imposter syndrome or self doubt stop you. Get in touch. I am here to support you.
