Write, Sweat,
Soak, Eat, Relax:
A One-Day Retreat for Women
"The Write, Sweat, Eat, Relax Retreat proved to be a glorious gift to my deepest self. Laura and Evelyn created a safe circle for exploration, release, and renewal. The shared words and warm waters opened me to new layers of my being, and I left refreshed: body, mind and spirit. What a wondrous day!"
--Paula Mahoney
You are invited to treat yourself to a daylong retreat of writing, sweating, relaxing and nourishing yourself.
My friend and colleague, Evelyn Hall and I are offering a fabulous, inspiring, rejuvenating day of writing, ritual, soaking and sweating. Think of it as a combination spa, women's circle, and writing workshop.
Evelyn is a hypnotherapist, massage therapist, and creator of ceremonies. She has been leading women's spirituality circles and rituals for the past 20 years and is also a student of writing practice.
The retreats be held in Evelyn's backyard in Soquel, California, next to Santa Cruz. We'll spend the afternoon and evening doing writing practice in a sacred yurt, sweating together in a sauna, soaking in a hot tub, and sharing a luscious potluck supper together.
At the end of every retreat, women look transformed by the end of the day. Everyone comes away relaxed, inspired and full of themselves.
Special retreats can be set up as unique way to celebrate a birthday or other life passage with a group of intimate friends or family members.
Here's what some of the participants have had to say:
"What a succulent, delightful retreat for women who write. Nourishment for the soul and the pen."
--Bonnie Harris
"The writing retreat with Evelyn and Laura was a day of opening, relaxing, sharing, with both the group and with my deeper self. I loved it!"
--Caryl, workshop participant
There will be a limit of 8 women per session.
