Step through our doors and be transported to a whole new world of writing as you know it. There’s no way to truly capture the energy of being amongst hundreds of writers from every corner of the globe gathering to improve their craft. Day one is about setting ourselves up for the days to come, building a sacred camp together where transformation can occur, and leaving behind what is no longer serving us for our journey ahead.
By Day Two you will have realized this is not a spectator event, and now find yourself middle of a new adventure. We call day two the threshold, a specially crafted series of workshops, exercises, and challenges meant to bring out your unique creative genius and reclaim the courageous hero within you that has given you the inner call to write the story of your life. Day two is about answering the call, stepping on the path, and by the end of the day crossing the threshold into a new story of your life. You have to hike up the mountain to truly appreciate the summit, and that is what the threshold is all about.
We call Day Three The Initiation, and we dont use that word lightly. The role of the initiation is to create a change that cannot be undone. Our workshops and ceremonies on day three are designed to help you honor the unique talents, circumstances, and calling youve been given as a storyteller, and stepping into the writer thats been waiting for you to be. We will not be saying goodbye and dreading going back to our normal lives, we’ll be resupplied, reinvigorated, and excited for the real journey ahead, Telling the story of our life.
