What transformative power might we discover if we followed our heart’s longings while opening our life to the needs crying out in the world today? Perhaps you already have and wish to be encouraged. Perhaps you have just recently heard your heart speak and are wondering how to begin. Perhaps, in the noise of the times and the busyness of life, you find it difficult to hear your heart’s soft voice at all.

In this weekend retreat at Prairiewoods Retreat Center in Iowa, we’ll use guided writing, conversation, gentle movement, and other playful and contemplative practices to listen for the wisdom rising from our own lives and bodies. We will consider how the world’s needs today can help us understand our own longings more deeply and clearly. And we’ll join in community, encouraging one another and discovering the transformative power of belonging to our longings in troubled times. This retreat is for writers and non-writers alike.
