The Wonder Writing Experience
A creative reset for writers, artists, storytellers, and anyone craving their spark back
This isn’t a workshop on technical writing.
It’s not about launching your Substack or polishing your prose.
It’s about something deeper:
Remembering why you started writing in the first place.
Sometimes we need to shake off the rust.
To stop performing—and start listening again.
To reconnect with the part of us that writes because it’s how we stay alive.
That’s what The Wonder Writing Retreat Experience is for.
In a world where robots can write for us, this isn’t about writing “better.”
It’s about writing something raw and real and deeply human.
We’ll use writing as a conversation—with our imagination, with our memory, and with the quiet voice of our heart that’s so often drowned out by the noise of the world.
Through creative exercises, visualizations, and guided prompts, I’ll invite you to sit down with your wild imagination and ask:
“What have you been waiting to tell me?”
What You’ll Experience:
-
Writing sessions designed to shake off perfectionism and stir your creative soul
-
Playful, weird, and meaningful prompts that spark unexpected truths
-
Guided visualizations to connect you with your heart, imagination, and inner storyteller
-
Group sharing that builds trust, community, and a lot of laughter
-
A safe space to be fully yourself—on and off the page
-
Simple, memorable tools to keep writing with wonder long after the retreat ends
This Retreat is For:
-
Writers in a creative rut
-
Journalers who want to go deeper
-
Artists and humans who miss feeling lit up by their own creativity
-
Anyone longing to reconnect with their voice in a way that feels alive, honest, and deeply personal
You won’t leave with a perfect draft.
You’ll leave with something better:
A notebook full of authentic surprises—and a renewed connection to what your soul has been trying to say all along.
Workshop Schedule:
Sunday Night: Welcome Reception at 6pm
