Sea Studio: Pen & Paper

As light dances on the sand, as storms roll in across the ocean, as the crocuses bloom by the sea, and as the sun peeks out to warm our shoulders, come along and spend five days on the Oregon Coast focused on writing. 

This is your invitation to travel to Manzanita, Oregon in February and connect with experienced mentors who will share their thoughts about writing, publishing, and living the writing life.

This is your invitation to breathe in the salt air and eat delicious, nutritious meals and be present to discovering the next step on your path.

This in your invitation to bring whatever stories that are waiting to be told inside you and give yourself the gift of space to simply write.

This is your invitation to bring your current writing project, whatever it might be, and spend time putting pen to paper.

This is your invitation to come along, because this is a retreat for the writer who is you.

(yes you)

This is the first retreat in a new series called the Studio Gatherings. These retreats are inspired by the desire to have a room of our own where we can write, paint, play, and live creative dreams into reality combined with the idea that creative souls crave community with like-minded spirits.

The Pen & Paper mentors who will gather on the coast include:

Kate Inglis 

Jenna McGuiggan

Christen Olivarez

(and, well, me)

To learn more about this retreat, including information about the mentors, location, lodging, group gatherings/discussions, and small group workshops, visit the Pen & Paper page on the Be Present Retreats website.

Oh, LIz...Beautiful Mother, messenger, goddess of guidance and light and beauty, as I listen to your words and watch your serene poetic images, I am once again, in awe. I hope that I will be able to join you on this lovely soul crushing inner excavation. I just left my baby Olivia in bed. She is 9. We were talking. She is uncomfortable with peers speaking, what is on her mind. I have brought home so many new ideas and bits of joy from Reveal, and I share these with both my girls, very often, I hope every day. Experiencing you has changed my life. Thank you. I am thrilled down to my orange cupcake toes that you are still singing. You are a silent star singing in busy daylight. JF
