Ssshhh….
When we can sit with silence, then we can hear.
Welcome to your healing. Welcome to Woodland Water Tower Ranch, 12 acres in the sacred Sonoran desert that will be your home for 5 transformative days. Here you will be swept away by mountains, sunsets and the truth of your heart. Founder, author and writing coach, Kim Green, welcomes you to a place where you will enjoy the time and space to hear your heart’s song. The deep listening that you will experience is for your transformation. For five days we will shut out the noise of a world that often silences us with demands, responsibilities and not enough time to consider our own desires. Over 5 days, you will face hard things from your past that have stopped you from your dreams. Together, we will reclaim the courage to be who we are and get what we want. This how we write for our life. True transformation occurs when we open ourselves to truth, community, compassion and a community of women that you will never forget. You Have the Write to Heal is your time and your place.
Join us for the Soul Work that we have come to do.

INTRODUCING THE LEGACY OF LIGHT FUND
Writing can be a powerful way to process what we have survived, make sense of what we’ve experienced, and begin imagining what comes next. But the women who could benefit most from an experience like this aren’t always the women who can afford it. For the 2027 retreat, The Legacy of Light Fund, an exciting new element of the retreat, will reward one or two deserving women a chance to be a part of this life-changing experience. At its heart, this retreat is about giving women something that can be surprisingly difficult to find: time, space, safety, community, and permission to tell the truth about their own lives.
This retreat is for a woman who may have spent years caring for everyone else in her life and has no resources left to care for herself. Maybe she’s a woman who has experienced loss, trauma, transition, or a life change that she’s never had the time or space to process and finds herself unable to move forward. Maybe this is a woman who has simply reached a point where she knows she needs a shift in her life, but doesn’t know how to start. You Have the Write to Heal is the place.
The recipient(s) will receive airfare (if needed,) five days of chef-prepared meals, transportation, lodging at a luxurious 12-acre ranch, all activities, write-to-heal sessions, a private session with the Founder, equine therapy, daily yoga and meditation, a one-hour massage and a community of women who are here to support you.
Testimonial
“I learned to write and saw how impactful it is to take a few minutes to write things down which helps gets them on paper and out of my head and body. This needs to be a thing everyone goes through at least once.”

A note on Depression in Women
According to UN Women, globally approximately 83,000 women and girls were intentionally killed in 2024 with roughly 60% (50,000) perpetrated by intimate partners or family members.
We are living in unprecedented times. Not only are women put at risk by intimate partners whom they once trusted, millions of children are at risk because of unworthy, irresponsible parents who have become imbalanced and unhinged. We are losing our children to drugs, depression and neglect. Our children are taking their own lives at alarming rates. As human beings we are losing our sanity and balance. No matter where we come from, we are all living under a suffocating tarp of fear and uncertainty. Causing the rates of depression in women, in particular, to soar.
You Have the Write to Heal is a gathering place for women to understand and embrace their grief and find hope. We believe that hope is found in the amplified voices of women. We are suffering from a global crisis of imbalance. We are all suffering as we watch in horror rampant school shootings, random and gruesome violent crimes, senseless war, depression, hatred, corruption, scarcity, diminishing health, and suicide. All are rampant, no matter where we come from.
This year at You Have the Write to Heal, we will gather in our grief and find strength and hope. We will support one another and write what is in our hearts so we can say it to the world, without fear. Many of you may say, “there’s nothing wrong with me.” And, you may be right. But there is something wrong with our world, and we have to acknowledge it, or nothing will ever change for us or the world. Women, you, are the bearers of life.
The National Institute of Mental Health and the Mayo Clinic say that depression in women manifests through a combination of emotional, physical, and behavioral signs that persist for at least two weeks. These changing moods manifest in these ways:
- Persistent Sadness: Feeling empty, tearful, hopeless, or sad on most days.
- Irritability and Anxiety: Showing unusual anger, quick-temperedness, or high anxiety over minor issues.
- Loss of Interest: Stopping hobbies, avoiding social gatherings, or losing pleasure in activities once enjoyed, including sex.
- Guilt and Worthlessness: Blaming oneself excessively, feeling inadequate, or focusing heavily on past failures.
- Fatigue: Feeling constantly exhausted or lacking energy, making small daily tasks difficult.
- Sleep Changes: Experiencing insomnia (trouble falling or staying asleep) or hypersomnia (sleeping too much).
- Appetite and Weight Shifts: Eating much more or much less, leading to noticeable weight gain or loss.
- Unexplained Aches: Suffering from chronic headaches, body pains, or digestive issues that do not have a clear medical cause.
- Trouble Concentrating: Finding it hard to focus, remember things, or make everyday decisions.
- Social Withdrawal: Isolating from friends, family, and coworkers.
- Suicidal Thoughts: Expressing recurrent thoughts of death, wishing to vanish, or talking about suicide.
How Can Attending You Have the Write to Heal help?
Therapeutic writing can be a place to confess your struggles and fears without judgment. The concepts and benefits, similar to journaling, can be very beneficial when it comes to the healing process from traumatic experiences. It starts with simply writing down your thoughts and feelings to understand them more clearly. And if you struggle with stress, depression, or anxiety, writing can guide you to the root of your emotions connected to the impact of the trauma, thus helping you to gain control of your emotions and improve your mental health.
Participation in a therapeutic writing group facilitated by a professional writing coach can provide a safe space to process your struggles and fears with other survivors of trauma without judgment or punishment through writing and sharing in a supportive group environment.
One of the ways to deal with overwhelming emotions related to trauma is to find a healthy way to express yourself. This makes a facilitated therapeutic writing group a helpful tool in managing your mental health. Therapeutic writing can help you:
- Identify barriers to healing and recovery from trauma
- Reduce stress and anxiety related to unresolved trauma
- Identify coping skills to triggers that impact daily functioning
- Help you prioritize problems, fears, and concerns
- Providing an opportunity for positive self-talk and identifying negative thoughts and behaviors
A therapeutic writing group can be a supportive part of recovery from trauma.
