Hi, I’m Joel. I’m a writer, too.
I am a storyteller, poet, and songwriter. I have chronicled some of my travel adventures in the two books that I self-published, and I have many more stories still to share! I recently had some of my poems published in a compilation of poets here on the lake. I know how important it is to cultivate an intentional space where creativity is allowed to flow unencumbered. This was a major motivation that I shared with my wife Julia while co-creating Casa Curativa. Eliminating distractions and tuning into the sounds of nature allows for the muse to present itself.
