Moderator and Facilitator

The Wilderness Writing & Wellness Retreats

From the choice of venue to the daily writing activities, the Wilderness Writing Retreat was thoughtfully and lovingly curated with the writer’s comfort and inspiration in mind. Morning yoga and writing prompts set a perfect tone for the day, while evening discussions allowed the participants to share their challenges and triumphs—a wonderful way to close each day. The schedule included just enough structured activities to inspire, but still left plenty of room for personal creativity without feeling too programmed.
