The Scoop from Participants:
📝 📝 📝
“What an enriching week! The retreat gave me time to write and workshop with writers, all while experiencing the beauty of Paris! I went home with multiple essay ideas and the motivation to maintain a consistent writing practice.”

“Beyond grateful to have had the opportunity to spend a week in Paris with Kevin & Sarah. Both were generous hosts and tour guides, shuffling us through the streets of Paris making sure that we were fed, enjoying ourselves, and getting where we needed to be. Any writer, yogi, or human being who loves to travel and explore should join them on their next trip. They won't regret it.”

This retreat will immerse you in fruitful writing practice, help you ignite your creative spark and feed your soul. You’ll be lead in both generative writing workshops (where you get fresh words on the page) AND feedback-oriented workshops (where you’ll receive guidance on your work in a practical + positive way). We’ll explore yoga, meditation and breathwork meant to help you connect deeper to your creativity and use the light +inspiration of the city itself to fuel our work! (expect city walking meditation + creativity tours). You’ll leave this week with significant writing work done and a whole new connection to your inner muse. This retreat is open to experienced writers and newbies—-same goes for the yoga part——and will be an open-genre community (meaning you can be working on a memoir, novel, poetry, or not-even-sure-yet). All exercises will be designed to meet you where you are.

My own writing has appeared in the New York Times, Poets + Writers, Slice, Oprah mag, the LATimes and I’m the author of four books, working on another. I hold MFAs from NYU and Lesley U. In addition to all the writing I’ve been teaching yoga and meditation for 14 years. (but you’re on my site so you can click around for more on that)
