the Table, A Sanctuary of Soul's Return

Seven women are called to a mysterious dinner at an ancient refuge where marigolds bloom, memory flows like a river, and what was broken apart is alchemized into wholeness. At the table, stories begin to surface. Not all at once, and not without resistance, but steadily-as if something unseen is guiding them toward what has long been avoided. Each woman carries fragments of a life interrupted by grief, trauma, and the quiet ways we learn to abandon ourselves in order to survive. But this is not merely a gathering. It is an unraveling. A return. A reckoning with the parts of themselves that were never meant to be lost. As the night unfolds, what was once hidden begins to take shape-not as something to be feared, but as something to be understood. And in that understanding, something shifts. Something softens. Something begins to come home. The Table is a trauma-informed story of integration, inviting readers to encounter through narrative what psychology often attempts to explain through theory. It is a place where memory meets the body, truth meets compassion, and what was once fragmented is gathered home and reimagined into wholeness.
