Overcome Writer’s Block & Unlock Creativity
Transformational workshops, residencies, and retreats designed to help every writer—from emerging voices to seasoned practitioners—cultivate a joyful writing practice.
“Devotion to Writing CHANGED MY LIFE two years ago! It launched my daily writing practice, which is more than a writing practice. It’s showing up and joyfully welcoming the flow, which allows me to feel deeply enough to express myself creatively. If you want to find a way to honor that call to creative expression, Devotion to Writing is it!”
—Caren S.
From Writer’s Block to Writing Breakthrough
We understand writing can be difficult. It’s scary and vulnerable to put yourself on the page. Where do you begin? What if you have nothing to say? What if what you write isn’t good?
Our in person and virtual writer’s block workshops offer proven rituals and practices designed to break creative blocks and awaken your creative energy, and flow. Our residencies and retreats are supportive communities that nourish and nurture your writing life.
Devotion to Writing shifts your relationship to writing. You’ll cultivate a consistent practice, breaking the silence of the page, and connecting with your voice and your abundant creative energy.
“I just love Devotion to Writing. The ideas help me settle into my writing life. I found you at exactly the right time as I’m trying to reestablish a writing practice after about 10 years of writer’s block and resistance. Thank you for this program.” —Lisa Z.

Meet Justen Ahren
I’ve lived a rich, creative life as an author, poet, photographer, musician, father, and husband. Yet helping writers find their voices and awaken creatively through writing is my life’s service. What I share through Devotion to Writing emerged from own experience as a writer and artist struggling to cultivate a creative practice and sustain creative connection over my 35+ year career. Devotion transforms paralysis, frustration, and negativity into inspiration, consistency, and fulfillment. I invite you to discover the power of devotion and begin on your own transformational journey today.
“Everyone is creative. Each of us is the infinite flow of creative energy. We’ve merely forgotten how to channel our true nature into creating our lives.”
—Justen Ahren
“I was raised in an environment of extreme negativity, where creativity was not recognized. Thank you so much for pointing out how gratitude, generosity, and creativity are connected; this was a significant revelation for me. Blessings to you in abundance!” —Herne H.
