WRITING RETREAT in the Santa Cruz Mountains
Spend four nourishing days wrapped in your writing
in the beautiful countryside of the Santa Cruz mountains.
Spring Writing Retreat April 19-22, Friday – Monday
or
Summer Writing Retreat July 26-29, Friday – Monday
The retreat will include:
- Hours of writing time every day
- Unique writing exercises to help you access your subconscious mind
- One-on-one consultations with the instructor on all aspects of the writing process.
- Time to share your writing with the group and get nourishing, detailed feedback.
Get help with organization,
working wisely with your inner critic,
revising strategies,
or even on just how to get started.
LOCATION
Our retreat will be held at Paraiso, a spacious country ranch in the hills above Capitola, with gardens, decks, a writing yurt, and even a dance studio. Sit in the meadow, the forest or on a beautiful deck and write your heart out.
LODGING and FOOD
There are two options: dormitory style sleeping or tent space at the retreat center (included); or if you prefer private lodging you may rent a private room directly from the retreat center. You are also free to arrange other lodging in the nearby towns of Capitola or Santa Cruz.
There will be a fully-equipped kitchen, and you may bring any food you enjoy, which we may cook individually or as a group. You may also drive down into the restaurants of of Capitola if you wish.
Expect to go home with dozens of new pages of writing,
and a concrete plan on how to take the next steps.
