Women writers have a unique way of experiencing the world. We also have unique challenges that come with our deep dive into creativity. This retreat is meant to inspire, empower, and support women writers as they claim their place in a world too often unsupportive, and at times, even hostile. We’ll employ gentle yoga, breathing, and meditation techniques as we seek to understand and enjoy our own magic. We’ll learn how to start believing in possibilities, abundance, creativity, and ourselves in order to accomplish the things our hearts long for. Do you believe in magic? Do you believe in yourself? Join us for this special women-only retreat and learn why you should!
