The Road Not Taken

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
Robert Frost

The Mind-Body Connection

Find the sacred dimension and transformative power of your story. Kim's courses, retreats and books offer a unique model for a mind-body connection and four stages in the experiential learning cycle: thinking, feeling, reflecting, and doing. Knowledge gained through experience brings personal growth.

Learning to Pause and Pausing to Learn

"There is a time and a place for everyone to share their story. Every person's story is worth telling. This is what we long for. This is what we learn when we pause to write. It's not about the writing process. It's about telling your story. It's finding your voice, speaking your truth, and moving into a new vision of yourself, to be and become the one who is intuitive while also fierce, fearless and free." ~ Kim E. Morgan

Your Story Matters...

"The world comes alive and the land is reborn with each rising sun. Like the birth of a new life, we were born to be storytellers, but not all of us were born with a talent for storytelling or with the skills to put our stories, or our imagination, on the page. This is a learned ability. We learn by doing. We learn to write by writing. We write to become a good writer, or a better writer, and a good storyteller." ~ Kim E. Morgan.

Writing As A Wanderlust Adventure

The adventure of writing and the joy of teaching keep Kim Morgan engaged in the day-to-day work and play activities of life.

"As an educator and guide by the side, I offer occasional advice, direction, instruction and encouragement. Discover new pathways into personal transformation. The path ahead may be challenging, but we can walk it together."

No stranger to personal loss, her philosophy of life stems from one fundamental belief: “Our greatest, unattended longing is for connections with God and each other, and maybe even transcend into a clear, new vision of ourselves. God gives us soul glimpses into the very nature of our existence. God heals the brokenness. The rest of soul care is left to us.”
