Sharon Voytac

From a young age, Sharon Voytac was both a writer and a seeker with a foot in the spiritual world. Growing up she felt torn between her childhood dream to be a published novelist and her growing curiosity about the spiritual path, sparked when she bought her first deck of oracle cards at thirteen years old.

Following the death of her mother in 2006, Sharon left behind her full scholarship in creative writing and everything she knew to move to San Francisco. Shortly after, she began her three year certification as a meditation facilitator, learning grounding techniques, energy work, and everything she could about the chakra system. She went on to teach alongside a Traditional Chinese Medicine Doctor, using the Chakra System to promote holistic healing from trauma. She also facilitated women's groups focused on creativity, guided meditation journeys, and lucid dreaming.

Following the pandemic, Sharon closed the doors to her spiritual business and returned to writing. During a craft class, she noticed an interesting link between the plotting structures being taught and the spiritual journey of the chakras. It was at this moment that her two life paths--seemingly at odds with each other--merged.

Since then, this combined passion generated an 11 week class on chakra story structure, a sprawling elemental fantasy saga still in the works, and the most wonderful group of writing friends. Alongside Laura Rayne and Holly Sadowski, Sharon is excited to launch Story Foragers this year, a writing community on Discord where neurodiverse and intuitive creatives can find camaraderie and support in what can be a lonely craft at times.

Sharon Voytac is a PTSD and chronic illness survivor, battling ME/CFS since she was 17. To add to her collection of acronyms, she was early diagnosed ADHD and HSP and late diagnosed Autism. She lives in Northern California where she is a humble servant to two dogs and a cat.
