Facilitated workshops and guided writing sessions for households in Penang — helping generations speak plainly about the topics that often go unsaid.
Three facilitative formats — each designed around different household needs, pacing preferences, and family compositions.
A facilitator-led session for households who want to open structured conversations across generations — about shared history, household transitions, and the practicalities of caregiving. Participants work through prompt cards in small mixed-generation groups.
Three guided sessions supporting participants through the practice of writing letters to family members on subjects often left unspoken — gratitude, accumulated questions, or shared history. The writing is private; it is never read aloud unless the writer chooses. Reflective rather than counselling.
A two-day off-site retreat for a single family group of up to eight adults. Combines facilitated conversation sessions with rest, shared meals, and quiet writing time. A custom agenda is prepared following a planning call with the household lead. Facilitative and reflective — not counselling.
A few things that distinguish how we work from other facilitation services.
Prompt cards and session structures give conversations shape without forcing a particular outcome. Families move at their own pace.
Our facilitators are not counsellors. We do not give legal, financial, or medical guidance. The space is educational and reflective only.
Sessions are built for mixed-age groups — adult children, parents, grandparents — not a single demographic.
We operate from George Town and understand the mix of cultural backgrounds and family structures common to Malaysian households.
Writing sessions are private. Nothing produced in a session is shared beyond the participant unless they choose otherwise.
Workbooks, prompt cards, and writing materials are selected for quality and tactility — part of creating an unhurried atmosphere.
Whether you have a specific occasion in mind or simply want to learn more about what each programme involves, we are glad to hear from you.
A few things families often ask before joining a programme.
The workshops are for adults — adult children, parents, and grandparents who want to have structured conversations together. There is no upper or lower age limit for adults. Sessions are not suitable for children under 18.
No. Linenroot programmes are educational and facilitative. Our facilitators guide conversations using structured prompts but do not provide therapeutic, legal, or financial advice. If you are looking for clinical support, we recommend speaking with a registered professional.
For the Intergenerational Conversation Workshop and the Family Conversation Retreat, yes — the value comes from multiple generations being present. The Letter-Writing Series can be attended by one or more family members independently.
The Conversation Workshop and Letter-Writing Series are held at our George Town studio, No. 9-1, Lebuh Light. The Family Conversation Retreat is off-site; we will share venue details following the planning call.
Sessions are conducted in English. If your household communicates primarily in Bahasa Malaysia or another language, please mention this when enquiring so we can discuss the best options.
Payment is in Malaysian Ringgit. We accept bank transfer. A 50% deposit is required to confirm your place, with the balance due before the first session. Full details are provided upon enquiry.
