Memoir Retreats

On my memoir retreats, we spend time each day writing together and on our own, while also taking time to explore the beautiful countryside around us, creating community over delicious meals in intriguing places. 

Each day, you’ll generate new writing designed to deepen your understanding of your own life story and discover your purpose—why you are drawn to sharing your experience, and for whom. You’ll also get the benefit of a private consultation with me to explore how best to tackle your writing goals.

Jennifer, I love your method of having people write, and how you give feedback and conduct your workshops. You have a lot of experience and know what you are doing, and it shows. One feels safe, in good hands. You have a settled, thoughtful manner which really helps, especially in such a stimulating, beautiful environment. The intimate atmosphere was well-suited to writing and sharing, and the balance of writing and exploring the countryside was right. Our accommodation was lovely, the food was great, and our hosts were so welcoming. The excursions were wonderful!

Whether you’re an emerging or an established writer, you’ll find that my Purposeful Memoir retreats remind you that great writing doesn't come from spending long days hunched over your screen; it comes when you are able to relax and open the doors to your creative imagination wide.
