Narrative Healing Master Monthly Workshops

The best storytelling is the most human — but the hardest stories to write are the ones where we are neither the hero nor the villain.In this generative workshop, KimThai adapts Shining the Light, an accountability practice from the Plum Village tradition, into a series of writing exercises for looking honestly at a situation where you were both harmed and harming.Through flower watering, perspective shift, and scene work, you’ll practice holding both truths on the page without arguing your case or softening what happened.You’ll leave with new pages and the sense that the “ugly” parts of your story are worth telling just as much as the good ones. 

What You’ll Experience:

🔹 Writing prompts rooted in sensation, instinct, and embodied awareness
🔹 A gentle somatic process to reconnect with what feels alive beneath performance or productivity
🔹 Space to explore contradiction, longing, resistance, and desire without rushing toward resolution
🔹 New ways of approaching the page as a site of encounter rather than production
🔹 A deeper connection to the instinctive, unpolished, and authentic voice withinWe’ll begin by noticing what holds charge: an image, a sensation, a flicker of wanting or aversion. From there, we’ll stay close to the raw material of experience, allowing language to emerge before interpretation takes over.This is not about writing “well.”It’s about writing from what is actually alive.
