Join us in Woodstock, NY for a weekend of writing, reading, storytelling and creative ideation in the Catskills. This two and a half day, twenty hour retreat will offer all our storytellers artistic self-care, spiritual nourishment and peace + quiet to radically dive into their imagination surrounded by the support of an edgy, dialed-in creative community. We’ll begin each day with a seated healthy breakfast and lots of time to talk IRL with new friends and old friends alike. We'll spend the morning swapping "the tales you don't want to tell" followed by Tiny Story Hour and a brief technical lesson. After we break for lunch, you'll have ample time to curl up in a quiet nook and write for hours on end, stopping only for a private creative ideation session with Molly Rosen about where you are in your process and how she can help kick start your story to new dimensions. Late afternoons are reserved for group workshops around a long table to give and receive feedback. The goal is to power down, put pen to paper and rigorously mine your imagination in a safe + sacred space. Through generative exercises, group sharing, deep discussions and healthy meals, you’ll begin to abandon inhibition, explore memories, embrace your style and become comfortable with creative discomfort. There will also be time to snack, lounge, hang, hike, wander Woodstock and a nearby cemetery, connect with new + old friends and explore upstate New York away from the rigamarole of everyday life. Prepare to go deep. Breakfast and lunch included both days, lodging not included.
