You don't have to strive to become a writer.
The Words Are Already
Inside You.
Maybe you've been longing to write… but aren't sure where to begin.
Maybe you have ideas scribbled in notebooks, unfinished drafts tucked away on your computer, or stories stirring quietly in your heart that you haven't fully made space for yet. Or maybe you simply need uninterrupted time away from the noise to finally focus again.
Stillness & Story was created as a peaceful space for faith-filled women to slow down, reconnect with God, and return to the page with clarity, courage, and renewed purpose.
"This is not a hustle-focused writing conference filled with pressure
and packed schedules. It's a retreat."
You don't have to strive to become a writer.
A Gentle Rhythm of
Rest + Writing
Each day flows with both margin and momentum — space to breathe, and space to create.
Morning worship + devotionals
Start each day rooted in God's presence before your pen ever touches the page.
Dedicated silent writing time
Uninterrupted blocks of quiet time to focus entirely on your writing project.
Writing workshops + reflection
Gentle guidance to help you deepen your voice, clarify your message, and move forward.
Optional sharing + encouragement
A safe circle to read, receive feedback, and be witnessed in your story — always optional, never pressure.
1:1 Mentoring opportunities
Personal coaching time with Stephanie to work through your specific writing questions and goals.
Spacious free time
Rest, pray, walk, journal, or keep writing — the choice is yours. Space is sacred here.
Shared meals + meaningful connection
Nourishing food and the kind of table conversations that make you feel seen and known.
You don't have to strive to become a writer.
This Retreat Is For You If...
⬥ You've wanted to write but struggle to make time for it
⬥ You feel unsure where to begin — or how to keep going
⬥ You long for uninterrupted time to focus on your writing
⬥ You have ideas, stories, or projects you haven't fully explored
⬥ You feel creatively stuck or overwhelmed by the blank page
⬥ You desire encouragement and support on your writing journey
⬥ You want space to reconnect spiritually while also making creative progress
Some women come with manuscripts already in progress.
Others come with only an idea and a longing to begin.
Both are welcome here.
What sets this apart
Centered Around Presence,
Not Performance
Stillness & Story isn't about productivity, platform-building, or proving you're a real writer. We believe writing flourishes best not through constant striving — but through remaining rooted in God.
Peaceful, not pressured
No packed schedules, no performance. A retreat that actually feels like a retreat.
All writing welcomed
Books, devotionals, poetry, memoirs, blogs — whatever God has placed on your heart.
Spirit-led, not self-driven
We make space to hear what God may be speaking beneath the noise of everyday life.
Community + coaching
Connection with like-minded women and personal access to Stephanie's guidance.
What previous attendees are saying
Real Women, Real Transformation
"My confidence has skyrocketed. For the first time, I feel like I know exactly what I'm supposed to be doing. I'm so grateful Stephanie said yes."
- CARRIE R., RETREAT ATTENDEE
"I came to the retreat expecting to complete projects. I walked away with so much more: connection with other writers, a deeper awareness of my unique voice, expanded creativity, and profound perspective shifts in my journey with God. This retreat brought me purpose, healing, and connection — with others, myself, and God. It's an experience I will treasure for a long time."
- BROOKE T., RETREAT ATTENDEE
"The Stillness & Story Retreat both encouraged and challenged me as a writer. Through Stephanie's coaching, leadership, and wisdom, I began to release the imposter syndrome and embrace my author voice as a storyteller. A sense of freedom came in shifting from trying to fit a mold to letting each writing time be an appointment with God. I walked away with something I had not expected — permission. Permission to write what only I can write, and the faith to believe that is exactly enough."
- SARAH B., RETREAT ATTENDEE
meet your host
Hi, I'm Stephanie Miller.
Spiritual Growth Coach · Writing Coach · Editor · Author.
I'm passionate about helping women reconnect with both their creativity and their calling. Over the years, I've discovered that some of the deepest breakthroughs happen not when we push harder — but when we finally allow ourselves to slow down.
Stillness & Story was created to offer writers the kind of space so many of us are longing for: space to breathe, listen, heal, write, and remember we were never meant to create from exhaustion alone.
You don't have to come with your words all figured out. Just come.

What if I don't know what I'm writing yet?
That's completely okay. Many attendees come simply with a desire to begin. Part of what we do together is help you find clarity and direction for your writing journey.

No. Sharing and feedback opportunities are always optional. You are welcome to write, rest, and receive — without any pressure to perform.
