Writing Retreats

Before you write, allow yourself to step back and see—observe deeply, through all your senses, without judgment. The “without judgment” part is most important. Writers constantly battle the “editor” in our minds, the part of the psyche that passes judgment on every word we put on the page. To write without judgment, you need to be free of that editor, that “all-powerful” judge of right and wrong. 

To quell that restrictive voice and allow your own voice to shine, you must find an oasis of freedom—that place between observance and judgment. Writing retreats offer an opportunity to go to that place, literally and figuratively.
