“I have taken a lot away - mainly about focusing on what really nourishes me now, and weaving in creativity throughout my day.”
“Erika is highly knowledgeable and embodies her creative and innovative philosophies in a kind and engaging way.
I look forward to speaking with her in the follow-ups to support my ongoing writing practice.”
“The weekend stimulated ideas, motivation and confidence in myself as a writer... practiced lots of ways of working on writing which were fun and great to have as tools for writing practice. The walks were inspiring, beautiful and an awesome way to get fodder to write about.”
“I came to this creative writing retreat with no expectations and no current writing quests.
I am now leaving feeling back in touch with my creativity, a story to create and some skills to put these together. Thank you for creating this for me Erika!”
“I really appreciated the warm energy that Erika gave us in all of the activities over the weekend.
I came away with more freedom to write creatively and the tools to actually practice it.
I am looking forward to being able to fulfill my dreams to write some or all of my own story. Thank you Erika.”
“The house was spacious, beautifully situated overlooking the ocean. The meals were nutritious and natural and special requests were accommodated. The exercises were both fun, sometimes challenging; very insightful. The long walk on the second day was long, scenic, magnificent and lunches were excellent. The writing exercises were interesting and an awakening.”

FAQS

Our Women’s Walking & Writing Retreat is attended by women who want to start a writing project or have already started and want some feedback and direction.
Maybe there is a writing project that is nagging at you: a blog, short stories, novel or memoir, play, copy for your business and you don’t know where to start.
Or maybe you have already started and are stuck or have lost the mojo and belief in it.
You will be guided through creative exercises and techniques to get clear on what you want to write, what is holding you back and try to breakthrough the block. If you already have a body of work, you will have your work edited and be given one-on-one editorial feedback.
