April 16 - 18, 2026

Private Writing Casita, Santa Fe, NM

LIMITED SPACE

​

Join John Roedel and Michelle Francois-Walsh April 16-18, 2026, in the magical heart of Santa Fe for a three-day gathering of open hearts, curious minds, and willing souls.

 

Each morning from 9 –12 PM, we will gather at our Writing Casita -a welcoming communal space for shared writing, reflection, and conversation. John and Michelle will offer poetry, prose and music to warm the waters, as we allow ourselves to become 'free flow' writers, laying it down on the page. Light noshes will be served  including fruit and/or pastries as well as coffee and tea. 

 

Each afternoon from 3–5 PM, we will venture out exploring Santa Fe’s beauty ~ visiting its historic churches, vibrant galleries, inspiring museums, and sacred sites. These excursions will serve as sparks for your writing, offering new textures, colors, and stories for your pages. 

​

Optional ADD ON Day Sunday, April 19 to Georgia O'Keeffe's Ghost Ranch!

​

Woven into our time together, you will also receive guidance from John and Michelle on how they use words to navigate the inner landscape—techniques and approaches that anyone can use, whether or not you consider yourself a “writer.”

 

Heart Write Soul isn’t about perfect grammar or polished performances. It’s not a critique group or a stage. Rather, a guided, personal journey~an invitation to pick up the pen as a compass and see where it leads you.

 

Come as you are. Bring your notebook, your favorite pen, and your whole self. Leave with pages full of discoveries~and perhaps a few new lifelong friends.

 

This event will be limited to 15​
