NEW Spring Virtual Retreat and 2026 retreat announcement!

Friends!

New 2026 retreats will be announced on April 1!

But…you need a retreat NOW!

I get it!

You’ve seen the smiling pictures. You’ve seen the testimonials. Maybe you’ve even looked longingly at the 2025 retreat offerings and wondered: is this for me?

On Friday, April 25, you get a chance to “try it out” and retreat with us–without buying a plane ticket!

Join us for 2 hours on Friday, April 25, to go deep into your work in the truest sense of a retreat. Close the door, close the window browsers, put the phone in the other room, and emerge refreshed: with a new creative spark, momentum to energize your spirit, and camaraderie with your creative community.

Whether you’ve retreated with me before and need a little spring boost, are planning to retreat with me in 2025, or you’re still in the dreaming phase, come see what all the hype is about.

For 2 hours, let me immerse you in the retreat experience–which is more than just a workshop in a pretty place, but an opportunity to do the deep work of listening, connecting, and collaborating with your muse. Come to write, come to learn, come to share space with your creative community, come to nourish your spirit: come to be part of our extended retreat family–wherever you are!

AND–everyone who registers for the Virtual Retreat gets EARLY REGISTRATION ACCESS to the 2026 retreats.

It’s a win-win-win.

Questions? Reach out!

See you on retreat!
