Come to My Writers Retreat!

I’m hosting my very first Writers Wellness Retreat on Sunday, March 12th! I’m excited about this retreat because it’s exactly the kind of event that I would have loved to go to when I was writing full time last year and feeling isolated and depressed.

Writing can be such a lonely and scary pursuit.

For a while, I thought I was the only one that felt this way.

Then, I started reading books on the craft of writing and creating art, and I discovered that almost every writer and artist feels lonely, scared, depressed, doubtful and/or anxious at one time or another, and some even feel this way every day. Knowing this, I wanted to create a retreat that would bring together writers who want to practice self-care in order to gain greater creativity and productivity.

I call the retreat a day of mindfulness, movement & expression because it combines three key things that help me with my own writing: meditation, qigong, and freewriting.

I’m leading the sections on meditation and guided freewriting, and my qigong and tai chi teacher, the amazing Kim Ivy, founder of Embrace the Moon, is teaching the section on qigong.

It’s going to be a fun day filled with stories, compassion, and camaraderie. I hope you’ll join us!

Also, if you do attend, as a bonus gift to you, I will personally check in with you a week after the retreat to see how you’re doing with your writing and self-care practice, and whether you need any other resources or support.

Don’t wait. I’m capping the retreat at 10 participants. So, REGISTER TODAY and invite all your writing friends to join you!

What people are saying…

Lizz Zitron, College Professor

The Contenders is the middle grade novel you’ve been waiting for: diverse characters who are funny and real. Eunice and her friends and family feel so real–they are flawed, kind, complex, a little mean at times, and just wanting to find their place in the world. Highly recommended for every middle school collection.

Jas Hothi, Author + Entrepreneur

I’ve done my fair share of personal finance reading and, well, Rebel Millionaire is probably the single best thing I’ve read. Why? So effortlessly simple and effective. As I’m about to turn 31, this is just the nudge I needed to start saving and investing for my future. Thank you, Peg, and Plaid Frog Press!

Laila Atallah, Career Coach

What I love so much about your writing is how personal it is. It gives me permission to accept and love my own humanity, while also giving really helpful tips and mindset shifts, and next steps too.
