Dream It! Write It! Writers at all Levels Welcome
Open Your Box of Chocolates!
Creativity needs time. It needs presence. And it is a WHOLE PERSON Process.
Whether you are a successful, published writer looking for time away from the hustle and bustle to re-envision your writing career, or a newbie filled with ideas who lacks the confidence and knowledge to put your dreams in motion, this retreat is for you. It's time to approach your writing with a sense of creative play and the fun of releasing your imagination and letting it soar!
In this weekend, you'll have time to write, time working with dreams, time for mixed-media art, time with your intuitive self using Tarot and Crystal Oracle decks, and time to restore body and mind with a powerful Sound Healing session. This Box of Chocolates has flavors to boost your creativity with heart and soul.
You'll have personal time during the day to walk the Labyrinth, write alone or with others - it's a weekend designed to keep the words flowing and the connection to your Muse strong,
And, you'll have the support and encouragement of a small group of creative women.
However YOU choose to spend your time will be honored.

WHY TAROT, DREAMS AND MORE?
TAROT AND DREAMS
Did you know that what are known as the Major Arcana of the Tarot are really archetypes of the human experience? And, perfect inspirations for your major characters! Added to that is the visual imagery and symbology of the Tarot. Using it as a tool of inspiration to spark some out of the box thinking gets you out of your logical mind and into your creative one in new and interesting ways.
By now you've all heard how Stephenie Meyer dreamt the book that became Twilight into being. Working with your dreams gives you access to a world of hidden impulses, motivation and story-telling experiences. Your own life has connections that can take you through history, into the world of myth and magic and deep into what motivates you. Learning how to work with your dreams for writing inspiration opens doors to new ways of self-expression.
