Need some time to get away to finally focus on YOU? Finally want to hunker down and write? Need to heal and relax so that you can return to yourself and get in touch with your core creativity? Then you're in the right place.
This retreat is organized by Ali Vingiano, TV writer for The Morning Show (Apple TV+), former journalist for BuzzFeed, teacher at Script Anatomy, and 200h certified Yoga Teacher from One Down Dog. She is joined by 500h Costa Rican teacher Julian Regulus, sound baths from sound healer Allison Bagg to provide a week of rejuvenating Yoga and professional-level writing workshops.
We are staying at the famous & gorgeous Bodhi Tree Yoga Resort, which has some of the best Yoga classes in the world. In addition to the retreats private classes, feel free to partake in Bodhi Tree's public classes -- they have everything from Vinyasa and Aerial Yoga to Yin and capoeira.
The focus of this retreat is on using modalities of breathwork, meditation and Yoga to return you to your true self, so that you can write from your most authentic and creative voice. There will be daily Yoga classes taught by Julian Regulus, sound baths from sound healer Allison, and daily writing workshops from Ali.
Bring a creative project, or simply an idea. You will leave with a great draft, and a stronger connection to yourself and the world around you.
Why combine Yoga and writing? The stress of the past two years has been overwhelming, both physically and mentally. Now so many of us feel a need “to catch up” or “make up for lost time” — especially in our careers. These worries create additional feelings of stress, emptiness, failure, and depression. Enough is enough. Our nervous systems are suffering. It is time to heal and thrive. In order to do this, we need introspection and true relaxation. We need to recognize our fears and push past them, rather than letting them limit our creative potential. And that’s what this retreat will be all about: Facing the fear so that we may invite abundance and joy into our lives!
Yoga, meditation and breathwork are incredible tools to push past the fear, doubt, insecurity, and other external factors that prevent you from living at your full creative potential. It’s also a lot easier to feel inspired when you’re in a new, beautiful place! There’s a reason why writers famously escape to remote locations to pen their scripts. Let’s join them :)
