Imagine...

An entire week with no distractions.

No laundry, cooking, dishes, childcare, logistics, or Zoom meetings.

Just wide open space to focus on a project that matters to you—your book, blog, business plan, or another endeavor.

Space to think deeply and produce your best work.

Picture this: morning yoga to wake up your body and mind... breakfast prepared by a private chef... a writing workshop to spark creativity... hours of quiet, uninterrupted time to work on your project... a late afternoon stroll through the Cloud Forest followed by a tension-melting massage... a sunset mocktail... and an evening of journaling, reading, conversation, or stargazing in the jacuzzi.

If this sounds like exactly what you need...

Come to the Hawaii Writing Retreat.

Many newsletter readers have told me, "This retreat is on my vision board." "It's on my bucket list. One day, I'm coming."

Maybe this is your time.

This retreat happens just once a year.

January 6-12, 2027. Six nights, seven days.

This will be my 15th time leading a retreat in Hawaii. I’ve added special touches for 2027. Expect an experience that’s even more thoughtful and luxurious. Here's a peek at what you'll receive.

"Go to Hawaii! A delicious, productive week. Highly recommend!" 

—Rachel Rodgers, CEO/Founder, Hello Seven, Wall Street Journal bestselling author

 

“The atmosphere, the food, the support, the free time to actually write—it’s gold. The retreat was by far one of my best yeses. I plan on being a repeat offender.”
—Stacey Herrera, relationship and intimacy coach 

 

“I’ve attended the Hawaii Writing Retreat two years in a row—and plan to come back for a third!"

—Stephanie Skryzowski, CEO/Founder, 100 Degrees Consulting

PS. The future is uncertain, but one thing is true no matter what: giving yourself a week of focused, distraction-free time is always a great move. 

PPS. Music I've been loving: piano cover versions of Taylor Swift's songs, Tell Me Where You Want to Go, Rüfüs Du Sol Radio, Celtic Dreams, and this year of the Fire Horse playlist. 

PPPS. If this retreat calls to you, I hope you'll find a way to be there. But if you can't swing it due to a chronic illness, caregiving responsibilities, financial constraints, or another reason, I hope you'll create your own solo-retreat at home. Carve out the time, even if it's only one day. Give yourself the greatest gift: space to exhale, clear your mind, and concentrate on a project that matters to you.
