Retreats remind us who we are and why we are here.

Self-care is an act of holy rebellion.

In a hyper-busy world focused on productivity, output, and profit, creating sacred space for ourselves enables us to listen to the quiet voice within. When we are in touch with our intuition, we are in touch with the divine. When we are in touch with the divine, we are able to access inspirational resources that were not present to us before.

Past Retreats

  • EMBRACING THE DRAGON in the Sacred Valley of Peru

    When we befriend our inner dragons, we reclaim our power. Instead of fearing our darkness, we learn to harness it, integrating our shadow, and uncovering our light. This eight-day retreat wove together writing, yoga, meditation, Reiki, and energy work to transform and rewrite the stories of our lives.

  • SPIRIT STORIES in the Allegheny Mountains

    On this special four-day retreat nestled in the Allegheny Mountains of Southwestern Virginia, we combined the narratives of our life experiences with the stories of our spirits. We used expressive writing, soul journeys, chakra balancing, guided meditations, and oracle cards, to allow our own intuitive wisdom to emerge on the page.

  • IN THE DEEP MIDWINTER at Shalom House in Montpelier, Virginia

    Winter is a special opportunity for going deeply within, processing the year past, and planting seeds for magic in the year to come This retreat was a weekend of writing, contemplation, and spellcasting at Shalom House, a retreat center nestled in 90 acres in the heart of Montpelier.

  • FULL CIRCLE in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico

    What do writing and mandala painting have in common? They can both uncover layers to the self. They can both help access the source from where we acquire our energy, self-worth, creativity and spontaneity. This retreat is designed to accommodate beginning painters and writers as well as those that make it their life’s work. goes here

I love the incorporation of meditation and waterfalls and fire, all of which were wonderful portals to writing truth, and seeing more clearly. I loved the ease with which it we all settled in. I loved the energy we all brought as individuals and as a unit. What fun! What inspiration! What a gift we all are!"

  • "Are you looking for a way to inject a higher octave into your writing? Then this is the retreat for you! 3/4 writing with prompts and 1/4 mystical, magical practices is an equation to open up and give the gooey messy, sticky sweet nectar of our insides a chance to make it onto the page."

    — Lisa

  • "I loved the location of this retreat. The setting was beautiful, the mountains, the water, all was perfect. I loved the trip to the waterfall. I am deeply grateful for the profound prompts and the writing circles were genius, and protective, creating no pressure in a safe creative environment. I love the spiritual aspects of the retreat….. It’s one of the reasons I felt called to come. I feel like you pulled so many beautiful things out of me that I may never have otherwise accessed, at least not all at once. What a blessing."

    —Julie

  • "I came to this retreat with little expectation for myself, and one big expectation for you, no matter the format. The sacredness of the circle must be maintained. You get an A+ with a sticker! I think the length of the retreat, and the smaller number of writers allowed for a wonderfully intimate environment. You get to know people little in a few days, but this amount of time gave us the experience of getting to know people better. It allowed for the awkwardness of being with strangers to pass, enough, so to laugh at each other's quirks and embrace the raw edges. I think the blending of experiences and writing was enriching and gave more meat to the stories we wrote."
