You have a story.
Maybe it’s been waiting for years.
Maybe you’ve started it three different times.
Maybe it’s lived inside your journal, or in the Notes app
on your phone, or only
in your imagination.
You don’t need to have
it all figured out.
You just need a place
to help you begin.
We Should Write: Finding Your Voice and Your Next Chapter is a one-day writing retreat designed to help you reconnect with your creativity, trust your own voice, and take the next brave step—whatever that looks like for you.
Held in the Nashville area this fall, you'll experience a day of honest conversation, inspiring workshops, guided writing, and meaningful connection.
Whether you’ve dreamed of writing a novel, sharing your personal story, exploring songwriting, or giving yourself permission to create again, you’ll leave with renewed confidence, practical tools, and a clearer sense
of where your story wants to go next.
Imagine this:
✨ Walking into a room where everyone understands the desire to create.
✨ Honest conversations about fear, self-doubt, reinvention, and finding your voice.
✨ Practical guidance from two professional storytellers who have built creative careers in different industries.
✨ Encouraging conversations with like-minded people who quickly become friends.
✨ Leaving with fresh ideas, renewed courage, and excitement for what comes next.
This is a retreat for your story. For your voice.
For your next chapter.
Give yourself permission to begin or begin again.
You’ll leave with fresh ideas, practical tools, meaningful connections,
and the confidence to take your next creative step.
What You'll Experience
Throughout the day, Jennifer and Lindsay will guide you through inspiring conversations, interactive workshops, and creative exercises designed to help you reconnect with your voice and move your story forward.
Together, you’ll experience:
✨ Honest conversations about creativity, fear, reinvention, and trusting your voice
✨ Guided writing and storytelling exercises that help uncover what's waiting to be expressed
✨ Small-group conversations with fellow creatives in a supportive, encouraging environment
✨ Practical insight from two professional storytellers with experience in publishing, songwriting, and creative careers
✨ A closing workshop designed to help you identify your next chapter and leave with a plan to begin it
Special Touches You'll Love:

Who This Retreat Is For:
This retreat is for anyone who’s been carrying a story. Whether you’re an aspiring author, an experienced writer, a songwriter, a journal keeper, or simply someone longing to express what’s been on your heart, you’ll find encouragement here.
You don’t need a finished manuscript. You don’t need publishing experience. You don’t even need to call yourself a writer. You just need a willingness to show up.
If You’ve Been Thinking:
✨ One day I'll write that book.
✨ I have a story I've never told.
✨ I want to feel creative.
✨ I just need someone to get me started.
Then We Should Write Retreat was created with you in mind.

A Note About Dietary Restrictions
We believe good food is part of what makes a retreat truly special, and we want every guest to feel cared for at the table. While our menu features nourishing, seasonal dishes with vegetarian options, we’re happy to accommodate common dietary needs such as gluten-free, dairy-free, or nut-free whenever possible.
That said, all meals will be prepared and served in the same shared kitchen space, so we cannot guarantee that cross-contamination will never occur.
If you have severe food allergies or highly specific dietary restrictions, please feel free to bring your own food and store it with you. Your health and comfort matter deeply to us, and we’ll do everything we can to provide a wonderful dining experience for every guest.
We’re here to support you—please let us know your needs when you register so we can plan accordingly!
