I believe that most, if not all, of us want the same things in life.
We want to feel seen. Want to be heard. We want to own our truth and express ourselves. And we want to believe we’re making a positive impact—to feel like we matter and that we’re leaving an indelible mark on the people around us in our short time here on this earth.
That’s what writing has done for me, and I’m guessing for many of you too.
But whether you’re creatively blocked or just full of self-doubt, it’s not easy to write consistently.
Instead of creating the worlds we envision or sharing the wisdom we want to impart, we can easily end up spending all our time writing mental lists of why we shouldn’t. I know I’ve been there.
If you get the struggle, or you’re just looking for support to help you do your most meaningful, inspired work, I highly recommend Writers Rising 2024, a retreat running from October 25th through 27th.
With a truly stellar lineup of seasoned writers, Writers Rising can offer you a supportive and inspiring environment where you can explore your voice, express your truth, and tap into your inner wisdom.
Keynote speakers such as Anne Lamott, Cheryl Strayed, Gay and Katie Hendricks, Jen Pastiloff, HeatherAsh Amara, and other luminaries in the world of writing and self-development.
Here’s a glimpse of what you can expect during this weekend filled with insight, inspiration, and connection:
- Experiential keynote workshops with renowned authors and thought leaders
- Silent writing sessions to dive deep into your creative flow
- Open mic readings where you can share your work and connect with fellow writers
- Workshops and breakout sessions covering a range of topics, including overcoming writer’s block, finding your authentic voice, and harnessing the power of storytelling
- Opportunities for group coaching and feedback on your writing
- Fun social gatherings to connect with like-minded individuals
