Calling Christians Who Want to Write
You WANT to grow as a writer. You want help getting past obstacles so you can do what’s in you to do.
You long for fellowship and you’d love a getaway. But between plane tickets, hotel rooms, conference fees, and extra spending, you just can’t fathom how to make it all work.
Now you can. You decide how far you’ll go and how much to spend on food, lodging, and travel. You get to pick the place that feels like retreat for you. Whether you do so with friends or alone, we suggest making plans with space for quiet times between you and God.
This coming January, don’t just make plans to start the year better, take time to start from a different place.
Announcing, Unleash the Writer Within.
An affordable online retreat where you’ll get away without all the rush. You’ll have time to rest, write, and refresh.
At this one of a kind retreat, you’ll receive help for overcoming obstacles related to the heart of a writer.
There will be time to gather, time to learn, time to write, and time to get quiet with God where your soul can be nourished. All without feeling rushed from one thing to the next, at least we hope that’s the experience you have.
Jolene Underwood and her fabulous co-leads, Jessica VanRoekel and Tammy Mashburn, will be teaching and encouraging you throughout the weekend via pre-recorded sessions and live Zoom gatherings with other attendees across the nation (world).
We’ll provide you with an outline to help you structure your weekend, but you’re in charge of how much you choose to engage with.
This weekend is designed with the heart and soul of a writer in mind. It’s an invitation to retreat, to dig in, and breathe deep.
We hope you’ll come away refreshed and a little bit freer so you can step forward in the work God calls YOU to do, where He calls you to it.
