It’s time! Welcome to Excavate Your Life. I am so glad you are here.
This class has been designed as a five-week experience, and you are welcome to follow the schedule of daily lessons each weekday for five weeks. Alternatively you can choose to spread it out, perhaps visiting twice a week for three months, or once a week to give you six months’ worth of juicy excavating. Whatever you decide I encourage you to block out space in your schedule for it, so you have a regular appointment with yourself to excavate your life. That’s an appointment you don’t want to miss! We don’t send daily emails for this class because we don’t want you to feel under pressure to complete the class at a certain place. This means you will need to log in to access each lesson, when you are ready to do it. You might want to set a reminder on your phone – anything to help you show up is always helpful. You can find all the lessons below this welcome message, so just scroll down to begin.
You have access to everything until January 31 2023 so you can go slowly and savour it if that’s what you prefer.
Excavating your own life is an exciting experience, but it is also worth being aware that you may well bump up against old wounds. Take all the time you need, talk to a friend or a professional if you need to, and remember that all of your experience has made you who you are today and holds valuable lessons and clues for the road ahead. Take good care as you go.
Happy excavating! I can’t wait to find out what you uncover…

This rich and deep writing course is a unique opportunity to explore what you really want from life, while honing your writing skills. Join me, bestselling self-help author Beth Kempton on a wild and beautiful journey towards clarity and direction. Each weekday for five weeks you will get a juicy lesson (audio, video, journaling worksheet and writing challenge) to help you go deep and stretch your writing. By the end of the course, the alchemical nature of it all will ensure you have a stronger sense of what really matters to you, and a clearer idea of where to focus your time, energy and attention. Not to mention having much more confidence in your writing after all that practice…
This is a very special hybrid writing and personal growth course which I have designed to help you find clarity and direction, both in your writing and in your life. I have spent more than a decade helping people to navigate change and reconfigure their lives to do what they love. I have also written a series of self-help books, all connected by a thread of making the most of this precious life.
It’s so easy in the rush of the modern world to go through the motions of each day without stopping to think what it’s all about, whether we are actually awake to our experience, and how we want to make the most of whatever is left, without knowing how long that will be. Personally I find journaling and writing incredibly powerful tools to help me tune in to the world, to my life, to other people, and to myself. I have brought all of this together in this course, with the aim that by the end of it you will be inspired, motivated and ready for whatever might be next.
Sign up now and start excavating your life. You never know what goodness you might find.
