What Our Souls Long to Say
With Grace Ji-Sun Kim and William Mark Koenig
June 21 - 27, 2026
Writing is a sacred tool for conveying our thoughts, ideas, and stories. We may write regularly. We may have a desire to start writing or to write with deeper intentionality. We may feel called to share our writing with a wider audience. For all of us, this writing retreat offers an opportunity to explore different styles of writing, receive gentle guidance, inspiration, and feedback. From beginners to seasoned writers, we will journey together as we begin writing, reflecting, and perhaps even beginning a blog site, book, or project you have long desired to start. Surrounded by the beauty of nature and away from everyday life’s busyness, we will write. No previous writing experience is necessary, just a willingness to listen deeply and express what stirs within us. Come with an open heart and mind as we offer guidance, space, and tools to help write what our souls long to say.
