Do you want to write but aren’t sure where to start?
Has your life story written a message you don’t know how to share?
Do you need to jump-start a project? Or maybe even your career?
Does a directed writing retreat sound like a dream?
Are you someone who values one-on-one relationships and learns best face-to-face?
Maybe a one-on-one writing intensive is what you’re looking for.
Here’s what I know for certain:
- You are gifted.
- You have a unique voice and purpose.
- Others will benefit from the healthy time you invest in yourself.
Join me for a two-day mentoring intensive designed to meet your writing needs and desires.
- Maybe you’ll want to use the time to brainstorm a project or master a craft technique.
- Maybe you’d like to work together outlining your next novel or non-fiction book.
- Maybe you’ll decide you need a few coaching sessions to help you move forward physically, emotionally, or spiritually.
The structure of our time together is something we’ll create, prior to the intensive, based on your needs.
The Details…
Sorry guys… The intensive is for women only.
Location: Lincoln, California.
Lincoln is about 45 minutes from downtown Sacramento, the Capital of California. Lincoln’s small historic downtown includes unique restaurants and shops. There’s one hotel in town; if you’d prefer something with more amenities and you have your own car or are renting a car, you may choose to stay in one of the many beautiful hotels in the Sacramento area.
Our sessions will be held in the comfort and privacy of my home in Lincoln.
