Renew - spiritual retreat for writers & speakers

Renew - spiritual retreat for writers & speakers reNEW is a community of Christ-following writers and speakers, both beginners and seasoned. Find out more about us here. www.reNEWwriting.com

reNEW - spiritual retreat for writers & speakers is open to all beginning and seasoned writers and speakers who desire to communicate the good news of Jesus Christ throughout the world. At reNEW, we believe the core of our calling as writers and speakers is faithfulness to Christ, emphasizing the need to grow deep inwardly, which in turn affects our outward reach. For our first three retreats, we

were known as “New England Christian Writers Retreat” – same community, just a new name. Our community exists that you might renew:

Your faith in Christ and commitment to deep spiritual growth — “after the image of Him.” (Colossians 3.10)
Your vision for sharing your unique story and message through writing and/or speaking. Your relationships and encouragement of others in this creative community. Your craft and skill in all areas of communication – “renewed in knowledge” (Colossians 3.10)
Your soul, through a deliberate time of retreating from ordinary life. Your courage to share your words with a broken world.

God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self‑control.2 Timothy 1:7

If you have been waiting for the right moment to commit to your calling, this is it.

We’ve designed this space specifically for you to escape the noise, polish your craft (with workshops covering everything from AI to Memoir), and sit in the quiet of the beautiful onsite barn to get your words on paper

Will you fill one of these final 10 spots?

Whether you choose the full Thursday–Sunday track or the weekend Friday–Sunday option, there is a space in our community with your name on it.

Whether it's sitting together at the dining table, passing each other in the lounge, or connecting during one-on-one sessions, you get real access to leaders who genuinely care about your success.

Everyone has a story to tell. Many of these stories should be carefully crafted from spoken to written language. Transforming a story some else tells into well-crafted writing is a special skill. That’s where you come in. This two-part workshop introduces the basic techniques of producing writing based on interviews and oral storytelling.

At reNEW, one of our beautiful core values is Celebration. Our community isn't built on competition; it’s built on cheering each other on. Our mission has always been to celebrate your victories, however big or small, and to honor every single person on the path of writing and speaking.

Lately, I have been absolutely blown away by what God is doing through this community. Over the last year, so many of our members have published new books, won prestigious awards, and launched exciting new ventures like courses, podcasts, and coaching programs. It is an incredible privilege to watch you grow and step out in faith.

If you have had a creative milestone or achievement over the past year, you MUST register to join us this October. We want you in the room so we can celebrate your hard work, and give praise for what God has accomplished through you.
