No prompts or tricks, just neuroscience. Our retreats were developed in consultation with coaches and psychologists, and focus on the specific deep-seated issues that hold back most writers, from developing emotional literacy and expanding your emotional scope, to rooting out the underlying reasons for procrastination, to facing your fears, be they of failure or success, or the blank page. The best way to up your writing game is here.

If you'd like to participate but the cost is an issue, we do offer one free place per retreat. Simply follow the instructions here.

A mini-retreat that's jam-packed with resources to consistently help you get over the writer's block. Includes a one-hour private coaching session following the retreat, because we know that it's easier to tailor a solution to the realities of your life once you've had some time to practice away from the motivating environment of a writers' retreat.

If you've ever been accused of telling rather than showing, In Touch With The World will get you on the right track. Over five weekends, we'll lay the groundwork necessary for developing your unique narrative style that consistently connects with the readers on a visceral level. We'll explore the idiosyncratic ways in which each of us experiences the world and how to make them more universally relatable, how to structure your scenes to keep the reader immersed, and how to sensitize yourself to everyday events so you can use them in your writing to their full potential.

There's a seed of virtue in every vice and of vice in every virtue. We're going to explore the hero's dark side, learn to compassionately step into the villain's shoes, and find the balance between the forces for good and evil in all characters that makes for a rich, satisfying story. We'll dig deep to unearth the differences between values, motivations and desires, inner and interpersonal conflicts, and the varied and often contradictory ways in which those may express in a character. Includes a one-hour private coaching session following the retreat.
