And I know that the stories we most need to write are almost always the ones we've been most afraid to begin. It is why I wrote The Shaman's Wife. 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 June 20rd — 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? No writing experience needed. No judgment. Just honesty, good company, light on the water, and the page. It's limited to 10 people.

If you're seeking more companionship through this space, one of my books might speak to you. With care, P.S. Saying “no” is often an act of love—for yourself, and sometimes even for others. Try it and notice how you recover your energy for things that matter to you.
