Narrative Healing

The Salon

A place to write, connect, and grow.

A live online community where embodied writing practice, ongoing mentorship, and meaningful connection come together.

Whether you are developing a book, filling journals, returning to the page, or sustaining an established practice.

We write with the whole self

At Narrative Healing, we write with more than the thinking mind — with the body, the imagination, the memory, and the full range of lived experience. Through breath, gentle movement, mindfulness, and guided prompts, you slow down, listen within, and make space for what is ready to emerge.

Live practice. Real people.

Every gathering happens live, in real time, with Lisa and a community of writers. You are not asked to arrive with a polished piece. Come as you are: inspired or uncertain, beginning again or already deep in the work.

Our stories are interconnected

Community is not an added benefit. It is one of the practice’s central tenets. In the Salon, your words are met with compassionate attention, and you learn to offer that same presence to others.

Questions writers often ask

When do the weekly labs meet?
We gather live on Zoom, Fridays at noon Eastern.
How long is each lab?
Each lab is forty-five minutes — time enough to arrive, write, and close.
Is there a replay?
Yes. Members can return to the replay when it works for them.
Will I share work in the labs?
No one is asked to share in the labs. You write in company, and your pages stay yours. When you are ready to read work aloud, Listening Circles are the smaller room for that.
Do I need yoga or meditation experience?
You do not need any yoga or meditation experience. All are welcome, and modifications are offered.

The Salon is here to support your writing, strengthen your voice, and offer a genuine sense of belonging.
