FIRST LOOK AT WINTER NARRATIVE HEALING
Retreats & Workshops (Online & In-Person)!
Dear Friends,
As the year winds down, I find myself reflecting on the incredible connections we’ve built in this community. Writing and storytelling hold profound power to heal, transform, and illuminate our deepest truths. Time and again, I’ve witnessed lives shift, perspectives broaden, and inner strength blossom—all through the courageous act of putting pen to paper.
There’s tremendous evidence that writing is more than an art; it’s a radical act of self-care. It fosters joy, resilience, and creative fulfillment in ways that ripple outward into every corner of our lives.
This holiday season, I’m thrilled to share opportunities for you to nurture your creativity, connect with a vibrant community, and discover the transformative power of Narrative Healing. Whether you’re joining us online, diving into a retreat, or taking this journey through my book, I invite you to explore the many ways to step into this practice.

Bring the practice home or share it with someone special: Buy my book and create a sustainable writing routine that supports your self-care and creative growth.
