Hello Reader,

Write Your Healing Story

Hello Reader,

You've been thinking about writing a book for years. It could be a memoir or novel. You've got some pages written but they're tucked away and only come out when you remember. Maybe you've gone as far as researching how to publish a book.

You understand what needs to happen. And you still haven't moved forward with your story. You keep telling yourself you're not ready yet. That there's one more thing you need to learn. That your life is too busy. That you're not really a writer. And who would care about your story anyway.

You don't think you're good enough, but what if that belief is the biggest obstacle to putting pen to paper (or fingers to keys)? How will you know if you have no structure that delivers clarity, confidence and a community of other writers helping each other develop their craft?

You say you don't have the time. But you waste hours scrolling facebook and instagram.

Your story doesn't matter. What if it does matter to someone out there that needs to hear it to show them the way through their journey?

That's what I discovered when I committed to my memoir, The Shaman's Wife. I too told myself all of these things. What made the difference between files in my computer and a book in my hand was my writing mentor. She showed me what I didn't know I didn't know. Her feedback and direction made me the writer capable of writing my story and confident enough to publish it.

How much longer will you keep jotting down notes and whispering "someday?"

Start now. Start small. But start.

Write Your Healing Story

This one-day retreat is an invitation to step away from your daily life and into a quieter space—where you can begin to listen more closely to your own story.

When? Saturday, September 12, 2026 in Carvoeiro, Algarve Portugal

Through guided reflection, conversation, writing, and time in nature, you will begin to uncover the deeper thread of your memoir—and how to bring it into form. Held in the serene beauty of the Algarve, this retreat offers time to pause, reflect, and reconnect with your vision, far from daily distractions.

We'll write. We'll walk. We'll ask the questions that matter: What is my story really about? Where does it begin? What is the thread that runs through all of it? What's getting in the way?

No writing experience needed. No judgment. Just honesty, good company, a walk in nature, and the page where it comes to life.

It's limited to 5 people so we can go deep. There is still a spot and not much more time to take a seat at our table.
