Writing From the Heart is the perfect way to nourish your writing commitments and complete your goals for 2026.
This annual four-day retreat is an opportunity to get away from the distractions of daily life and reignite your writing intentions within a community of fellow writers. Receive dedicated guidance and support to keep you on your path of joyful writing, learn playful practices, and be amazed as your words show up on the page. Enjoy the benefits of sharing your writing with a receptive, supportive audience.
Every year, I am reminded of the wisdom and inspiration that emerges in a circle of writers generating and sharing their words. Mysterious threads often show up, connecting people’s writing like mycelium networks operating below the surface.
Just by showing up in community, you are inviting the words that want to be written to come to the surface, and be given a voice amongst a supportive, reflective circle of listeners. This is also a sacred invitation to receive others’ writing, reflect what stood out and felt strong, and in turn be inspired.
Together, we will enter a space away from daily life and explore writing prompts with ample time to share, listen, and take spacious breaks. During your time alone, you are free to write, go for a walk, have a nap – whatever nourishes you before we gather again.
If this feels like an experience you are looking for, I would love for you to join this year’s Writing From The Heart retreat.
“I was looking forward to a virtual writing retreat, but I was also concerned about spending the whole day on Zoom. What Marie did was brilliant. We spent a few hours writing together, and then we separated for several hours in the afternoon before getting back together to share what we had accomplished in our break from the screen. Marie put a lot of care into creating an excellent experience for us. The writing prompts, the opportunity to share and support each other, and loving on each other’s words all made for an experience both heart-warming and encouraging. I’m no longer afraid of a blank page”.
Create a sacred, loving writing practice so you can write consistently for life.

“The Writing From the Heart Retreat was transformational. I know that when I say yes to myself, which is always hard to do, transformation is going to happen. This year it happened physically. I threw my back out halfway through the retreat and started writing and journaling about the pain. I dove into aspects of myself I didn't even know were there. There was deep healing. By the end of the retreat, I went from not being able to move to having more flow and movement, both physically and emotionally. It showed me how powerful our minds are... how powerful our stories are.”
"I loved the Writing From the Heart Retreat. It’s a great place to dip your toes in the water to see what writing is like in a community, and that’s what I love the most about it. I appreciated being able to share my words and have them received in a beautiful and respectful way… in a way that makes me feel great about my writing!"
Focus Your Energy – there is amazing power in strong intention.
