For the past few years, many of you have walked with me through Spiritual Direction for Writers®—through pauses, prompts, practices, SDW Co-Writing Sessions, 1:1 and Group Spiritual Direction for Writers® and SO MANY conversations about what it means to tend your writing life and nourish your creative soul.

Now, I get to invite you into another new chapter.

I'm gathering my online course offerings into one place—a growing bundle of courses on writing as a spiritual practice, the writing life, and faith and writing. New courses will be added as live class sessions are completed.

💚 Charlotte Donlon

What You'll Explore

Across these courses, you'll encounter ideas and practices drawn from Charlotte Donlon’s work as a writer and spiritual director— things she has noticed again and again in her own writing life and in her work with writers over many years:

💚Working definitions of faith, writing, and spiritual practice—and space to develop your own

💚The begin, belong, become, behold, bestow framework—a way of understanding how the creative and spiritual life spiral together

💚The liberating idea that all of life is the writing life—and what that means for how you show up (or don't) at the page

💚Nourishing rhythms, grounding rituals, and a retreat practice you can build into your real, actual life

💚Contemplative tools borrowed from spiritual practice — Lectio Divina with poetry, the daily examen, breath prayer—applied to the writing life

💚Writing prompts, free writes, and reflective exercises throughout

[You do not have to share Charlotte's faith tradition—or any faith tradition—to receive good things from these courses. All doubt, all curiosity, and all backgrounds are welcome.]
