Dear Writers,

This past Tuesday, Lilian Motta joined us as a special guest and guided us through a beautiful somatic writing workshop called Write From The Body.

Instead of trying to think our way into the writing, we slowed down and listened for what the body already knew.

There were goosebumps, tears, tingles, heart movement, surprising yeses, clear no’s, and a lot of honest noticing.

It was a very special Writers Club. Thank you to everyone who joined live and helped create such a brave, open, and curious space.

Below, you’ll find the full workshop replay.

FYI → All past Writers Club replays (meditations, writing exercises, and guest workshops) live in our Substack Members’ Library.

And now for this week’s goodies…

This Week’s Writing Exercise

Has jealousy ever taught you something meaningful about yourself?

It can be a hard emotion to admit, and an even harder one to stay with honestly.

But maybe there’s a story from your life where jealousy was pointing toward something deeper.

A desire.
A wound.
A dream.
A part of you that wanted to be seen.

Use today’s writing time to explore that story with courage and compassion.

What did jealousy reveal?

What did it ask you to reclaim?

And is there a lesson or a practice inside that story that might help someone else feel a little less alone?


This Week’s Workshop Replay

Theme: Write From The Body

In this special guest workshop, Lilian guided us through a body-based writing practice to help us listen beneath the noise of the mind.

We explored how sensation, movement, emotion, yes, no, contraction, and openness can become doorways into deeper self-trust and more honest writing.

Key Takeaways You’ll Get From Watching

  • How to use the body as a doorway into your writing

  • Why sensation can reveal what the mind may be avoiding

  • How to listen for your yes and your no with more honesty

  • How movement can help loosen stuck energy before writing

  • A body-based practice you can return to when you feel blocked, confused, or disconnected
