“The Rhythms, Rituals, & Retreats framework is a natural overflow of my writing, spiritual direction, retreats, gatherings, and offerings over the past 25 years.”
— Charlotte Donlon, Author, Spiritual Director, Gatherer, and Founder of Flourish Anyway™
Winter can often feel like a season of withdrawal with our spiritual lives and creativity dulled by gray days with scattered or stagnant energy. How do you return yourself after a difficult day because of the winter blues, a fight with your partner, a work disaster, or simply being a human in 2026?
Rhythms, Rituals, & Retreats provides an alternative way to inhabit this season with invitations to notice what still stirs beneath the surface and to nurture your creative and spiritual life from that quiet ground. Over a two-hour workshop, you’ll explore practical and soulful ways to flourish anyway—through intentional rhythms and rituals and a sustainable solo retreat practice. Go at your own pace and receive more of what your creative soul is longing for.
Through thoughtful instruction, guided reflection, prompts, and spiritual direction–informed practices, you’ll begin to reconnect with your creative center and rediscover the inner hospitality that enables true renewal. This workshop is designed for writers, artists, and creatives who crave rest and structure, reflection and inspiration, solitude and community.
