Hello Reader,
"There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you" ~ Maya Angelou
There is a particular kind of weight that comes from carrying an untold story.
It doesn't announce itself. It shows up in the way you go quiet when certain subjects come near. In the half-sentences you've typed and deleted. In the journal entry that begins I've been thinking about writing... and stops there, trailing off into the ordinary demands of a Tuesday.
I know that weight. I've carried it myself. And I know that the stories we most need to write are almost always the ones we've been most afraid to begin.
This fall, I'm opening a small space for that kind of beginning.

Write Your Healing Story is a one-day memoir writing retreat held in Carvoeiro on Saturday, September 12, 2026 — an unhurried day in the Algarve designed for people who are ready to get underneath their story, not just describe it.

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.
If you're not ready to commit but don't want to miss the next date, you can get on the list here.
With warmth from the Algarve,
Alicia
