Write Formula Retreats

Idyllwild Retreat

Spend time in the company of writers in beautiful Idyllwild, a creative hub located in the mountains outside Los Angeles. Our group of writers will be limited to four, a nice and intimate number. We’ll meet each day at a private home, a tranquil oasis high in the hills overlooking a peaceful forest.

There, we’ll do fun and generative exercises, hold craft talks tailored to each writers’ specific goals and desired areas of focus and development, and we’ll discuss each writer’s individual work in a collaborative, supportive and inclusive setting that fosters personalized, curated feedback. Each writer will also get a 1 hour one on-one session with me for discussions, strategies and guidance/encouragement. As a bonus during some retreats, Dr. Nina Savelle-Rocklin will coach you on how to deal with writers block and rejection.

Of course, the day will be filled with ample time to write and reflect in an extraordinary setting. With delicious local cuisine, cozy amenities, and fun activities, you will have a writing space tailor-made for you.

A week in the company of writers in a stunning ‘belle epoque’ mansion located in Grasse, the perfume capital of the world, in the Provence-Cote d’Azur region. Our group of writers will be limited to 8, a nice and intimate number. We’ll meet each day in one of the mansion’s many cozy rooms, or poolside, or on a veranda overlooking the sea.

There, we’ll do fun and generative exercises, craft talks tailored to the writers’ specific goals and identified areas of focus and development, and we’ll discuss each participant’s individual work in a collaborative, supportive and inclusive setting. The writers will share their work and gather personalized, curated feedback.

Each writer will also get a 1 hour one-on-one session with me for discussions, strategies and guidance/encouragement. Of course, the day will be filled with ample time to write and reflect in an extraordinary destination-vacation setting.
