Description

We each have a story to tell and the act of writing about our lives helps us make sense of our experiences with loved ones, family, careers, community, personal struggles, and most importantly, our inner emotional life. Get the guidance and mentoring of an experienced memoir teacher (MFA in fiction) to explore where to start and/or how to dig under the surface into your life story as an act of creativity, self-knowing and mining the wisdom gained from your own life experiences.

This retreat includes 2.5 days of mindfulness exercises, expressive art, writing exercises, critique sessions, yoga and plenty of reflecting. We will bask in the inspiration of beautiful Heartwood Retreat Center walking the labyrinth, enjoying restorative and/or other styles of yoga, sit in an award-winning Chakra garden to pen thoughts, gain insight through guided meditations, and each participant will enjoy a relaxing massage in our healing salt room massage studio. This retreat is designed to relax the mind, body and spirit, as we learn to dive deeper into writing our life story.

Memoir writing is less about capturing the events of your life, and more an act of probing the deeper recesses of one’s heart and mind to find connections and meaning in the choices we've made and the direction our paths have taken as life unfolds. Whether you want to write your life story for a more poignant understanding of a particular period of your life, to gain deeper awareness of self, to leave reflective stories behind for future generations, or you want to hone your craft to make your story publication-worthy, this retreat will awaken you to the power of memoir writing from a technical “how to” standpoint as well as process oriented self-discovery. Writing sessions include inspirational exercises and writing prompts to complete during the retreat and elective critique sessions to share and get professional feedback for your writing. Participants are invited to bring up to 5 pages of any work written before the retreat for critique. We will send you an e-mail with writing prompts to spur inspiration before the retreat if you want to get started on a project before joining us.

This retreat is taught Heartwood staff which includes  C-IAYT (certified yoga therapists & ERYT-500 teachers), mindfulness coaches, and writing teachers with MFA and publishing credits.
