What Is In A Retreat?
Workshops
Writing workshops are the main focus of every retreat. The list of workshops evolves and is curated for each destination and group.
We host morning creative workshops and afternoon craft workshops, providing a balance of creative deep dive and actionable instruction.
Mindfulness
Yoga, breathwork, meditation, and more. Each retreat is curated with a special guest teacher dedicated to our wellbeing.
We begin every morning with meditation to set the intention of the day and energetically clear our minds so we can tune in with clarity to our writing practice.
Adventure
The immersive experience is an essential element to every retreat. We carefully choose our destinations, some of our favorite places in the world.
Free time is paramount but we also plan group excursions to connect with the culture, history, and natural world of our destination.
Connection
Connection with ourselves and one another is at the heart of what we do.
We promote and facilitate this through our morning pages and journaling exercises, through deep discussions, open mic readings, and family style dinners.

A Look At Our Past Retreats
Every retreat is its own journey and story for both us and the brave writers who trust and join us. It is an experience that will shake and shape you, challenge you, and fill you to the brim with creativity and joy.
Our retreats have taken us to a hand-built seaside resort in Yelapa, Mexico, where we slept in open-air bungalows, sipped mezcal, danced in the rain, explored private beaches, grew, endured, and changed right before our own eyes. Then we found ourselves at a private Finca in the hot hills of Mallorca, Spain with crystal water swimming pools, seaside lunches, and seafood feasts. We ventured to the shores of El Transito, Nicaragua with wild horses, volcanoes, fresh oysters, and endless adventures. And we spent an idyllic spring week in the hills of Tuscany, Italy eating all the pasta and drinking all the wine, oh and writing too of course.
