Kristen LaValley

The location was beyond stunning. I felt like I was writing in Rivendale! It was the perfect surroundings for a days writing. Kristen has such a unique gift at bringing women together who can make you feel welcome and safe. Her skill at encouraging writing, even from a writer with little experience, without pushing you too hard but also encouraging you to be brave is phenomenal. I would recommend it and love it so much I’ve done two trips with her. 

Ink + Ash - A Writing Workshop to Untangle the Stories That Shaped You

Beyond exceptional. Perfect time, place, and people. The details were curated well and it was such a kind, loving, inclusive environment. I only regret that it wasn’t  longer! 

Write in Edinburgh with Kristen LaValley (fall session)

Felt like coming up for air for the first time in years. A beautiful, soft, gentle, safe space. Thanks Kristen!

We had the best time getting to know each other, learning about ourselves through the workshops and writing prompts, and exploring Edinburgh together on foot. What a magical city, and an incredible place to make new friends. Thank you, Kristen, for facilitating this beautiful trip!

Write In Edinburgh with Kristen LaValley

The best trip I have ever taken. The host was amazing and created such a fun and safe space for us all. I would go back with her in a heartbeat. Edinburgh was a beautiful city to explore and Kristen really struck a balance between allowing us to explore and guiding us. 

This was a wonderful trip with lovely people at a gorgeous location!
