An out of this world creative journey

The Journey to Jupiter Writing Retreat offers time away from day to day responsibilities, the camaraderie and support of other writers, and sessions to help writers gain the skill and understanding they need to tell their story.

Writers will learn and grow via:

  • Discussions of assigned readings

  • Sessions with exercises on character, plot, structure, language, description, and setting

  • Honest conversation about writing process and practice, how to work through blocks, and the role of community

  • 1:1 sessions with instructors focused on each writer’s unique challenges

  • Solo time to reflect, integrate, and write

Getting to the heart of your story

This retreat is designed for committed writers who have completed a draft of a book project or want to.

Some writers arrive with a full manuscript they don’t know what to do with; others arrive with a project in mind but an obstacle or stuckness preventing them from forward progress.

What matters is not what you are writing or how much you’ve written, but your commitment to thoughtful, authentic storytelling.
