  • “I attended this Rewilding Your Inner Wrtiter Retreat with the intention of finishing my book, but I left with so much more. The retreat struck the perfect balance of group coaching, meaningful experiences, and dedicated time to write. If you’re looking to reconnect with your creative voice and give yourself space to create, this retreat is absolutely worth it.”

  • "“I can’t say enough about how much I loved this Rewilding Your Inner Writer Retreat. From the smallest details, which I won’t give away, to the thoughtful way Heather organized, facilitated, and led us through the process of discovery and deepening our writer’s voice. Really, everything was so good, I want to go back!”

  • “With the focus of this retreat on voice, I realized it was time for me to become more vulnerable. Sharing ideas and ah-ha moments with an amazing group of writers pushed me further than any writing practice at home. The beautiful setting, nurturing activities, and sense of community created the perfect environment to grow as a writer. I can’t say enough about how valuable this time can be to any writer! ”
