WRITING WORKSHOPS + RETREATS
Story Workshops + Retreats are Trauma-Informed, Story-Centered Spaces for Healing.
There are stories inside of you that deserve to be heard—and held with care. Story workshops and retreats are designed to help you tell those stories in a way that honors your experience and invites healing.
Whether you’re untangling the threads of faith, recovering from spiritual pain or personal crisis, or simply longing to reconnect with your voice, these spaces are for you. I lead each one with trauma-informed practices, gentle guidance, and deep respect for the sacredness of your story.
What to Expect
The Story Course – A 6-week online workshop to help you craft your narrative with honesty and integrity. You'll be invited to write freely, without fear of judgment or pressure to wrap things up neatly.
Retreats – In-person gatherings that offer beauty, rest, and space to reflect. Past retreats have taken place in Edinburgh, Scotland.
Private Workshops for Churches, Nonprofits, and Groups – If you’re looking to help your community process faith, identity, or grief through story, I offer custom workshops rooted in trauma-informed facilitation and spiritual care.
WORDS FROM WORKSHOP and RETREAT ATTENDEES
“A profound experience filled with hope and joy, connecting with other women (from many walks of life), embracing my creativity, learning to write, reflecting and pondering, and feeling seen and accepted. If you’re on the fence, or think you’re too shy/introverted/anxious, i promise it’s worth it!”
“I found courage, freedom, and a surprise sense of community.”
“I felt normal and like I belonged for the first time in a long long time.”
“my heart was healed in ways I didn’t expect.”
“I’ve never felt poetry was for people like me or that I could write poetry. I was really scared when we had to write our own as I also don’t think I’m a writer but being able to begin a poem was magical.
