Presenting
Write Here ~ Write Now
Yogic Writing Retreat
with Rebecca Gold and Kimberly McClure
Do you have a story in mind that you want to write but can’t seem to find the time to sit down and write it?
Do you get easily distracted when you are writing on your own?
Do you crave feedback and community from other writers?
Can you use a little something extra to stir up your creativity?
Are you curious about Yogic Writing?
Well then have I got a weekend planned for you!
Sunday, October 22, 2023
9am-Noon (Breakfast is included)
What exactly is a Yogic Writing Retreat?
Yogic Writing is a process that combines yoga, meditation, and juicy writing prompts to help you find and write your life stories. This day-and-a-half retreat will be a journey from your mind through your body to the page.
All you need is a blank notebook and an open mind. You can also bring whatever writing project you’ve been circling around for some time and need to dig in and complete. This is your time to explore and WRITE… here and now!
No yoga, meditation, or writing experience necessary!
“Writing is the only thing that when I do it,
I don’t feel I should be doing something else.”
~ Gloria Steinem
What do I get out of this Write Here Write Now retreat?
You’ll be introduced to a new practice called Yogic Writing!
Kimberly and I will lead you through 3 different practices including gentle movement, meditation, and pranayama (breath practice) that can help you move your writing from your mind through your body to the page. All practices are optional.
You’ll get some structured writing time, divided up into manageable chunks.
You’ll have a community of women writing with you.
You’ll get the opportunity to share your work for feedback and support.
And… as an extra bonus, you’ll have the opportunity for a unique New England “Beachcomber” experience to stir up your creativity and create a keepsake for your writing alter at home.
I want this! Sign me up!
About the Venue
This beautiful coastal home near Newport, Rhode Island is decorated in a crisp coastal style. The space is airy and comfortable with plenty of cozy seating areas in both the lower and upper level where you will be able to settle in and write.
There are outdoor spaces in both the front and back yard to meditate, practice yoga, write, and gather as a group.
The only items you need to bring is what you want to write with, a yoga mat (if you have one) and if the weather is chilly (likely in October), a pair of slippers and a cozy sweater. Lunch and snacks are included on Saturday and breakfast on Sunday.
