In this episode, I reflect on the first ever HeartWriting Retreat held in Ubud, Bali — thirteen women, four days, a jungle full of rain, and something sacred we couldn’t have planned if we tried.
I take you behind the scenes: from the Agni Hotra fire ceremony where we cracked coconuts (and our egos) wide open, to the Shamanic healing workshops where women wrote the truest sentences of their lives, to the sound healing session where a tropical downpour turned into an unexpected symphony that none of us will ever forget.
This wasn’t just a writing retreat – it was a remembering, a ceremony, a beginning. And something in me clicked into place — a big, quiet yes to the next chapter of this work.
If you’ve ever wondered what happens when women gather to write, to heal, and to be fully seen, this is that story.
