A Frock-alicious Life is Calling Featured Event: Story Watch Writing Retreat with Jen Violi
9:00 - 5:00 PMSooke Harbour House, Sooke, BC
Join us and unleash your story!
Attention Wild Wondrous Women with a Story You Must Tell:
Are you longing for space and time to…
…get up close and personal with your story?
…step away from daily responsibilities and distractions so you can finally watch, listen, write, and reflect?
…be present to the kind of magic that surfaces when someone else takes the helm for a while, so you can actually relax, refuel, and take in the scenery?
How about doing that…
…for a whole luxurious day,
in an exquisitely beautiful ocean-side house,
with a scrumptious lunch provided,
accompanied by a group of other wild, wondrous women tending to their own stories, this October on the South West Coast of Vancouver Island?
If you’re full of emphatic Yeses—and why wouldn’t you be?!—you are invited to join us at the Sooke Harbour House on October 17, for a frock-tastic Story Watch Writing Retreat with Jen Violi, the editor and writing coach who helped me to turn Frock Off: Living Undisguised into a wildly successful book.
We have only 19 spots available for this incredible opportunity, so I recommend you register ASAP and claim one of those spaces for yourself.
This retreat is for you who are ready and willing to dive deep, seep in the salty quiet, and surface occasionally for rich conversation, creative support, and playful relief.
This retreat is designed to be a sanctuary for you and your story, balanced with quiet/private time, intentional and magical group sessions, and a shared lunch to let off steam, laugh, and enjoy the company of other women who are equal parts serious and silly when it comes to creating.
Why Story Watch Writing Retreat? Well, as with a whale-watching trip, this retreat is about traveling out into the vast mystery, away from dry land, and being present so our wild stories can reveal themselves to us, on their turf. It’s not about hunting down your story or demanding it come out and play. It’s about intentionally positioning yourself so you can watch and listen, so your story can show you its contours and capabilities, its beauty and power, how high it can jump, and how deep it can dive.
BONUS for YOU!
• surprise gifts to nurture you and your story
AND, if you register by October 1, a very special bonus:
• a 20 minute call with Jen, prior to the retreat, to support you in setting intentions and goals for yourself and your story. VALUE PRICELESS!
For all of this, the registration fee is just $297.
We have limited space for this offering, and would love for you to be at the table with us writing, so we encourage you to save your spot now!
