Writing is one of the most challenging things we’ll ever do; it’s also one of the most supreme pleasures in our life. This is one of the many paradoxes of being a writer. While this may never be resolved, one of the best things we can do to support our writing is to nourish ourselves, and give ourselves permission to enjoy the pleasure of it.
That’s why writing on retreat is so special. It initiates the altered state of mind that you’re in when you’re writing, and protects it for a prolonged period of time. We can go deep in our writing, and feel deeply connected to who we truly are. That’s why, after we’ve been on a writing retreat, we feel so transformed.
On retreat, you write what you wish you could read, even if you've never seen it written before. As you listen to it, your writing brings you closer to your true nature.
My retreats include guided nature hikes, because connecting to nature brings insight to our work in surprising ways.
You feel calm and full of wonder, effortlessly fascinated by your project as you slip into the flow state every day.
Here’s what a day on retreat might look like:
12:30–1:30pm: Lunch
2:00–6:00pm: Personal writing time/free time/optional massages
EVENING
