Weekly Practice
Shadow Exercise
Each week, a new prompt invites you to meet the hidden terrain of your inner life. Set aside ten minutes, find a quiet space, and write without editing yourself.
This Week's Theme
What You Were Told to Hide
What was once shamed can become your greatest gift.
Recall a moment in childhood when you were made to feel that a part of you was "too much" — too loud, too sensitive, too ambitious, too strange. What part of yourself did you learn to tuck away? Write a letter to that exiled part of you.
A new exercise appears each week
