(Payment Plans Available at Registration Link)

 

Includes all retreat activities, swag bag, virtual calls, and a surprise Saturday Evening experience.


Lodging, meals, and transportation are not included. This gives you the flexibility to stay where you feel the most comfortable and eat what best suits your body.

Smoking and Alcohol:

This is a non-smoking event. If you are a nicotine smoker but only use vapes, that is acceptable. I am highly sensitive to cigarette smoke, and if I smell it on someone's clothes, I get an immediate headache. Alcohol consumption should be minimal, respectful and after our evening classes. Please do not consume alcohol during the day or between sessions. 

Required Minimum Attendees:

This retreat will be activated with a minimum of 8 aligned souls in attendance. This ensures a rich, connected experience while still keeping the group intimate. If we do not meet that minimum, your full investment will be refunded or credited toward a future experience. That threshold must be reached by August 15th or we will notify you with next steps. 

There are no refunds for this event, including illness or emergency, and no refunds on partial payments, unless we don’t meet the minimum attendee threshold.

The retreat offered a sanctuary for my creative spirit. One particularly moving experience was writing down beliefs that had unknowingly held my writing captive. Holding those words on paper, acknowledging their weight, and then watching them dissolve in water was surprisingly liberating. It wasn't just symbolic; it felt like a tangible release. That act created an opening within me, allowing my authentic voice to rise and my stories to flow with greater ease and truth. If you yearn to shed limiting beliefs and unleash your unique writing voice, Kyra is a great person to help with guidance along the way.
