Some good things have happened this week! Here’s a video and transcript with a few highlights from this week with my writing and spiritual direction work.

Happy Thursday. I’m Charlotte Donlon. I’m a writer and a spiritual director and here are a few highlights from this week:

One Spiritual Direction for Writers highlight of the week is I announced two in person four-hour retreats on April 10, 2024 in Grand Rapids. This is the day before the Festival of Faith and writing begins. I’m so excited to host these retreats. You can learn more here.

I’m still so thrilled with how the Belonging through Art event went last week in Asheville. We had about 30 participants and the feedback was amazing. I look forward to facilitating more Belonging through Art events in the near future.

Finally, I had two more of my consult sessions with local business owners here in Birmingham through a local nonprofit that supports creative entrepreneurs. It’s an honor to be chosen to participate in this program and I’m already learning so much.

Thanks so much for following along!
