What you receive as a free member

  • A daily writing prompt, every morning

    One question designed to take you somewhere you haven't been today. Arrives each morning — no noise, no newsletter, just the prompt.

  • Early invitations to Guiderly events and intensives

    Free members get first notice of the Guiderly 21 writing intensive, live sessions, and workshops before they open to the public — including founding-member pricing.

  • Slow & Sacred — weekly essays by Marko Schmitt

    Drawing from psychology, Buddhism, neuroscience, art, and nature — how a person reclaims their inner life from obligation, habit, and others' definitions of success. Published every Tuesday morning on Substack.

"I would actually be excited if I knew there was a safe way to post things I've written and that people could ask me questions — just like we did in the workshop."
Philippe, Guiderly member · February 2026

Coming September 2026

Guiderly 21 — the writing intensive

21 days of daily prompts, a small pod of five people using the same prompts as conversation structure — questions only, no comments — and a live closing session. The kind of experience that makes a daily practice feel alive. Join the waitlist for early access and founding-member pricing.
