Writing Unbound is an exploration of creativity without limits. It’s about freeing yourself from the constraints of perfectionism, structure, and judgment to let your ideas flow naturally and authentically. Whether you’re penning thoughts in a journal, crafting a story, or simply letting your mind wander on the page, Writing Unbound encourages you to discover the power of your unique voice. This approach to writing is a journey into self-discovery, personal growth, and creative expression, where the only rule is to let your words be free.

Through somatic exercises and the act of journaling, Kim Carter will guide you through this 2-hour workshop held in the safe container of Bramblewood Stables in Taylors, SC as the resident horse herd keeps watch. And if you’re joining Kim virtually, the horses will be there in spirit.

Join us for Writing Unbound: A Workshop for Creative Discovery, available in two convenient formats:

• You can participate in Kim’s interactive Zoom session every month allowing you to join from the comfort of your home. Each month’s dates are announced the first week of each month. This option is $59 or free for all paid subscribers of Stable Roots.

• For those who prefer a more immersive experience, join us in-person at the farm. Connect with fellow creatives in a picturesque farm setting, engage in hands-on exercises, and explore your creativity in an inspiring environment.

Whether online or at the farm, you'll discover new ways to express yourself and unlock your creative potential.You’ll leave the workshop with practical, simple tools you can use right away to inspire your life, a journal to begin crafting your dreams into reality, and a deeper sense of who you are and how taking time to tap into your wants can provide balance in your life.

  • All of Kim’s workshops are introvert friendly. You won’t be pressured to share, but can safely interact (if you wish) in a way that feels authentic.

  • This workshop will help you understand the reason why we craft defenses to keep ourselves safe, and how these habits can understandably keep us from knowing our true wants.

  • This event is for anyone who is curious about themselves, interested in beginning a habit of journaling, and/or anyone who is ready to replace old ways of thinking with new habits designed to help you tap into your inspiration.

  • All attendees, both online and in person, will have access to recordings of the online workshop and will receive a workbook.

Who is Kimberly Carter?

Over two decades ago, Kim Carter quit all her real jobs to figure out why horses made her feel better. Bramblewood Stables in upstate South Carolina is the farm she founded and it is her home base and community where she and all those around her daily tackle that question and many more through coaching, re-wilding, and classical horsemanship.

She’s okay with never discovering the answer to why horses make us feel better, but she is obsessed with daily living the query. Kim is a lifelong seeker who embodies the (good?) Scorpio qualities of dogged curiosity and uncanny control. Writing is her medium for exploration and the home she’s always came to rest within since she was very young.

Kim attended the Fine Arts Center with a focus in creative writing and also attended the SC Governor’s School for the Arts. She is a Young Arts award winner in poetry and received the Archibald Rutledge Prize as well as being selected by Nikki Giovanni for a poetry prize through the Writers Workshop of Asheville. Her novella The Mansion House was awarded a runner up honorific in the inaugural Benjamin Wofford Prize for fiction.

Her work has appeared in The Emerys Journal, Southeast Equine, Creative Loafing, The Evening Reader, The Rectangle, Upstate Arts, Decor Magazine, Riding Instructor Magazine, Horse Network, and many Medium publications.

For several years she covered cuisine and arts in the southeastern US for regional magazines. She attended Wofford College where she studied art history with an emphasis on Byzantine icons and English with a creative writing focus.

Kim is a Level 2 EquineFlow coaching practitioner, recipient of the 5-star EquineFlow Excellence Award, a Certified Financial Education Instructor (CFEI), a somatic practitioner based in the Compassion Process, and an ARIA Level III hunt seat instructor. You can find all her latest writings and more about her coaching practice here. She specializes in igniting transformation in people who are ready to step into their power.

Keep up with all of Kim’s fiction, non-fiction and poetry and join the conversation at Stable Roots.
