About your trip

Write freely, your ideas flowing onto the page . . . with your heart open, mind clear, spirit calm! Daily creative flow exercises, quiet walks on wooded paths, starlit hot tub soaks, sound baths, hot beverages, healthy meals. Participation in group activities is optional - sharing glimmers from our work, freeing our spirits and voices together, occasional outings/hikes, and quiet celebrations. Add in a massage, optional daily yoga/qi gong/movement/meditation sessions to relax the body and focus our intentions. Engage with a writing buddy as you choose, write in parallel or solo. Return restored, re-inspired, with your newly flowering manuscript.
