May 2026 Spiritual Direction for Writers® Offerings, Gatherings, & Workshops

May is full at Spiritual Direction for Writers®, and here’s what’s on the table:

>>> May 2: SDW Four-Hour Online Retreat (Pay What You Can)
Writing shouldn’t deplete you. It should nurture you. Come be less alone in your creative practice for four unhurried hours.

>>> May 3 & 6: Follow the Echoes of Your Inner Voice with Tanya Davis ($30/session)
We all carry stories about mothering. Come write, breathe, and reflect in a sacred space with Tanya Davis

>>> May 11: Faith & Writing Part One—Writing As a Spiritual Practice ($49)
The creative soul is the soul. You only have one. Let’s explore what happens when you stop separating your writing life from your interior life.

>>> Through May 31: Applications Open for SDW Summer Intensive
A 12-week small-group experience for writers who want to tend their writing life and their interior life at the same time, as the same thing. Applications close May 31. Apply here. Learn more about the Summer Intensive here.

>>> Ongoing: SDW Zoom Co-Writing Sessions
(Free to all SDW Email Newsletter Subscribers. If you are a new SDW email subscriber, please email Charlotte at charlotte@charlottedonlon.com for the current week’s schedule.)

Show up, write, and be in community. Because “all of life is the writing life®” and you don’t have to live it alone.
