Hello, I'm Lisa Weinert.

I started Narrative Healing with one goal: to create a creative container for you to nurture your writing practice and provide opportunities to heal, connect, and grow alongside like-minded writers as you launch your voice into the world. 

I’ve worked with dozens of award-winning and bestselling authors over the years as a writing coach, editor, and publicist. I am also a yoga teacher certified in restorative, therapeutic and trauma informed yoga. My career journey includes ten years at the Knopf / Doubleday group at Random House, and faculty positions in the writing programs at Wesleyan University. I started Narrative Healing with one goal – to help writers (re) connect with their bodies and share their stories in the world. Our programs help writers (re) connect with their bodies, develop a sustainable writing practice to heal from trauma and share their stories in the world. There is powerful life-changing medicine in our stories that can heal us personally and as a society.

Over the past four years we’ve reached thousands of writers across the U.S., at universities, wellness centers, yoga studios, retreats, conferences, museums and writing communities, but we still have much farther to go to open up our community to support and connect writers who are seeking the support, accountability, community and inspiration this community offers.

Our sense of storytelling and community is changing rapidly as so many of our realities shift. However what remains the same is the medically proven truth that writing is a healing practice that offers powerful medicine, and that telling our stories and being heard is the essence of what it means to be human. I’m committed to supporting your writing path and celebrating the practice of writing to connect and heal.

Looking around at our vast changing world, I’m inspired to grow our community and make it as accessible, nimble and helpful as possible. One thing I have learned is that we don’t do this alone, we do this together.

Welcome to our community, I hope it is helpful to you.

With heart,
