Whether you’re writing in the margins of napkins, dreaming of your first book, or simply aching to tell the truth—Ink + Ash is a one-day writing retreat designed to help you step into your voice with honesty, depth, and courage.
Held in the heart of Edinburgh, this workshop offers a warm, spacious, and trauma-informed environment for those who:
+ Write (or want to write) about life, faith, grief, or identity
+ Are exploring the space between private reflection and public storytelling
+ Struggle with self-censorship or fear of being misunderstood
+ Long for a writing space that honors nuance, complexity, and spiritual depth
This is more than just craft. It’s about rooting yourself in the story you carry and learning to tell it in a way that feels safe and honest.
Kristen LaValley is a writer, facilitator, and published author. She is the author of Even If He Doesn’t and the forthcoming Growing Up Saved, and has led writing workshops and retreats across the U.S. and U.K. Her work is rooted in honesty, spiritual depth, and a trauma-informed ethic of care.
