Upcoming Workshop

I’m Brad Wetzler. I’ve been a writer, a traveler, a seeker—and at times, a man completely lost. Writing helped me find my way home.

My memoir, Into the Soul of the World, is the truest thing I’ve ever written. It took me years and it healed me. Now I help others do the same. My teaching is clear, warm, honest, and grounded in experience.
