Embark on a unique writing adventure
Friday, Nov 3 to Monday, Nov 6
Imagine yourself on the upper level of Amtrak’s California Zephyr as she winds her way across the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range to Reno.
Let the crisp light and deep shadows of the day enhance your sense of adventure as they play hide and seek up and down the mountains, racing each other along the rivers and ravines just outside your window, inviting you to lose yourself in the magic of your own literary work in progress.
Retreat Fee: $349 – Does not include train fare, accommodations, meals, insurance, transportation, or other incidental expenses.
Write on the Rails
This retreat is so popular, we do it twice a year now–once in summer and once again in winter. The goal is success as you define it, and the schedule has proven its power to support your efforts repeatedly over the years. Join us to find out what 4 days away from the every day, writing in the company of other writers, can do for you, your muse, and your creative process.
Newbies are required to meet with me on Zoom and checking out at least two free To Live & Write activities before making a financial commitment to any of my retreats.
