Whether you’re a beginning writer or more experienced, you’ll discover writing techniques and skills for creating new work or breathing new life into ongoing projects at the Soulful Writer’s Retreat.
Join us July 15-18, 2024 – SOLD OUT
NOTE: I am considering opening up a SECOND RETREAT in 2024 and have a couple of date options in mind (June or August). If this interests you, please contact me.
Sandy beaches. Tranquil woods. A peaceful stream. The world’s best sunsets. A supportive writing group of kindred spirits. Let the beauty and wonder of nature stir your imagination and inspire creativity.
Whether you’re a beginning writer or more experienced, you’ll explore writing techniques and skills for creating new work or breathing new life into ongoing projects at the Soulful Writer’s Retreat.
Over three days in July, we’ll gather to learn, to explore, to write, and to share. Purposely, I limit the number of participants from two to five women at the Soulful Writer’s Retreat to ensure an intimate experience.
You’ll discover the Conscious Writing process that you can use anywhere at any time to tap into an intuitive flow so you truly write from your soul. It takes you to the heart of what you’re really here to write about. Some participants have come to the Retreat looking to write one thing but left with a new direction and a new dimension to their writing journey.
Each day you’ll participate in guided sessions where we gather to meditate and learn new techniques to develop writing skills, including character development, plotting, dialogue, and more. There is ample personal time for resting, reflection, and writing – either poolside, on the beach, walking the trails in the woods, or finding a quiet space in the gardens.
We have periods of silence and fun activities around the campfire or watching the sunset above the majestic Lake Huron. And of course, there’s always ample food.
This Retreat is about you and what your creative heart truly needs.
