My name is S.A. Snyder, and I’m a writer, editor, and oral storyteller. My background is in conservation, so I have a particular passion for nature, the outdoors, and science. I also love exploring the world, inner and outer. I invite you to explore what I discover about people and our relationship to the planet through my old blog posts and current books. By sharing my personal experiences, I hope to inspire you to find and express your true nature of Love. Leave a comment, share your thoughts–and mine–with friends, but most importantly, take good care of yourself and others.
My Books
My memoir, “Plant Trees, Carry Sheep” (2019), is about volunteering in Scotland at a spiritual retreat. It’s available on Bookshop.org, Amazon world-wide, Nook, Barnes & Noble, and other platforms. I published “The Value of Your Soul,” a spinoff of my memoir in 2020, and “DIY Solo Retreats,” about creating your own retreat at home for times when you need self-care. The 4th edition of my travel guide, “Scenic Driving Montana,” came out in May 2021 and is the perfect travel companion through my home state.
My current writing project is a novel series, a family saga, that takes place on a ranch in Montana. It’s like what would happen if “Yellowstone” got corralled with “This is Us” and had a colt (or a filly).
Retreats
I used to write about self-care and self-renewal, which one can accomplish at home or at a designated retreat. Learn about retreat resources on this website and about retreating and self-care (among other things) in my old blog. If you’re thinking about a retreat to recharge and reset your life, you may download my short survey or my report (links below), or consider taking a workshop where I walk participants through how to create their own retreat at home, based on my book “DIY Solo Retreats.” Click the Events link in the top navigation bar to learn more.
