Oxford Writers Retreat (Advance)
KWA Advances
Kingdom writers don't retreat, they advance!
Each year, we gather a group of writers for a time of refreshing, renewal, and reactivation. Participants discover an open portal of creativity and a deeper sense of their assignment as a Kingdom writer. Whether it's in the local mountains of Southern California or the grounds where Tolkien and Lewis walked in Oxford, England, the experience is life-changing.

Oxford Writers Advance
Due to Covid, Oxford has been postponed. Date TBA. Please consider joining us next time!
Join us for this life-changing trip and be inspired by the same city that inspired some of the greatest authors of all time.
Along with teaching by Brae, Jill, and special guest author Mark Stibbe (whose father was mentored by C.S. Lewis), we will dine in the pubs where the inklings gathered, tour the home of C.S. Lewis, and see the Narnia window in his home church. We'll stroll Addison's walk where C.S. Lewis walked with Tolkien and Hugo Dyson till the wee hours of the morning discussing Christianity. We'll visit Tolkien's grave; tour the oldest family-owned bookstore in the world; visit the Bodleian Library, and so much more. And we'll still have plenty of free time for you to explore!
LIMITED SPACE AVAILABLE! Please note that you will be sharing a room. Lock in your spot today and come out to Oxford with us on this life-changing trip.
"Thank you, thank you! From the depths of my spirit. Thank you! I knew I had to go to the Kingdom Writer's Advance as soon as I saw the post. I arrived without knowing anyone but left knowing that I was part of a beautiful, new community. The atmosphere you both cultivated on the mountain was welcoming, genuine and liberating. Every moment was taken into consideration. Every person celebrated. You cannot put a price on the gifts of God and they were abundant under your loving leadership. God bless you for your faithfulness to His calling." - Donna A
