THROUGH A SACRED STORYTELLING EXPERIENCE
5 Day/5 Night Writers Retreat
Held in the Majestic Mountains of Truchas, New Mexico
TRANSFORMATION IS WAITING. YOUR VOICE IS CALLING.
The Winged River Writer and Team of Skilled Facilitators.
August 22-27, 2022
This Retreat is for you if:
You are struggling to connect to your writers voice and begin your book.
You are already working on your book, but are feeling distraction, avoidance, and disruptions, you are not able to create sacred space and write.
You are experiencing pain and grief, both inwardly and outwardly, and you are unsure how to process these emotions and integrate them into authentic power for storytelling.
You are looking for sacred land, sacred community, and a safe place to crack open the next level of self-expression and experience the writing of your story.
You need to break away from the chaos of all the moving pieces of life.
Your busy schedule is keeping you from your CREATIVE DREAMS.
But there is a way through this, there is a deeper soul knowing that can change the whole book writing experience.
We must find our way back to the SOUL and access our true VOICE.
I took this journey when I wrote my Memoir, The Soulful Child: Twelve Years in the Wilderness. This little girl became the foundation for my writer’s voice and continues to impact many through her soul connection.
Embrace The Wildness of Your Own Story & Be Guided Through a Sacred Process to Write Your Book
Returning to the roots of your authentic self creates a pathway for the writer within you to come to life. This retreat we will focus on discovering your wild edges of creative expression, by releasing the wounded child and connecting back to your soul knowing.
