Dear friends, 

I have hosted writing retreats all over the world—from Melbourne, Australia to Portland, Oregon to the Big Island of Hawaii. 

For the first time ever, I’m hosting a Virtual Writing Retreat. 

No need to hop on a plane. Participate from anywhere in the world.

The Virtual Writing Retreat includes coworking time to work on a project and get things done, inspiring presentations that will plant new ideas in your mind, and connections with wonderful people. 

Come work on your book, blog, newsletter, business plan, list of goals, a letter to your children, or anything else you want to write. 

When you are part of a group that is excited to write up a storm, the energy is contagious.

Check out the details.

To register, fill out this quick form. 

I hope to see you there!

Schedule

• Three day retreat. 
• October 15, 16, and 17, 2025
• 9 am to 3:30 pm Pacific each day

Can't clear your schedule for three days? If you have other commitments and can’t be there the whole time, no problem. 

Attend certain parts of the retreat and skip others. Come and go as your schedule allows.

Even if you only attend for a couple hours, you'll still get some writing done and have a productive experience.

All sessions will be recorded. If you miss something, you can watch later at a time that is convenient for you.

Co-Host

My friend Danielle Cohen, a phenomenal photographer, writer, and coach, will co-host. If you have never met Danielle before, you're in for a treat.

Focused, Productive Time

Think of this retreat like a three-day writing sprint. 

Pick a project. Clear distractions. Give it your full attention for a short burst of time. Go! 

See how much you can get done. You may astonish yourself.

Ready ... Set ... Write!

Get ready for a calm-ergizing (calming + energizing) experience.

See you there!
