Writing Retreat

Write Your Book in Paradise

Write Your Book in Paradise

A sacred experience to inspire earth-based wisdom

Benbow Historic Inn
Garberville, CA
July 27 - July 29

Come for a rejuvenating getaway in the redwoods!

Immerse yourself in these ancient trees. We'll be staying at a luxurious, historic inn nestled in the northern California's redwoods. Visit the Avenue of the Giants, drive-through a tree, see a rare albino tree, and get 2 author headshots.

This retreat is a combination of specific cutting-edge writing techniques, deep connection with nature, rejuvenation, and taking effective action to get your ideas out into the world.

What's Included:

  • 2 Breakfasts & 3 Dinners @ Benbow Inn's restaurant (benbowinn.com/dining)

  • 2 Picnic Lunches

  • 2 Author Headshot Photos

Pssst... Hey Visionary Leaders and Heart-Centered Entrepreneurs

Have you ever written while sitting in the center of an old growth forest? It's quite a magical experience to immerse yourself in ancient trees, where people have turned dreams into reality for centuries.

Meals (included)

Our dinners and breakfasts will be at the Inn's restaurant, which offers a lovey seasonal menu. Lunches will be a less formal affair, with a packed picnic for our tour through The Avenue of The Giants. Most rooms at Benbow Inn have mini fridges, so please bring anything that nourishes you.

Photos (included)

Included with retreat are 2 lightly retouched photos and, weather permitting, in The Avenue of the Giants. Bring props and multiple outfits if you like. Steph Ritz has been a professional portrait photographer since 2002, the same year she began copywriting. She has photographed thousands of people around the world (included some rather famous faces) and specializes in outdoor portraits for book authors and websites.

 

Hotel (not included)

Book yourself any room in our hotel or their KOA, stay at an AirBnB or nearby hotel… your choice. We start retreat activities promptly at 5:00pm, so please plan ahead. Benbow check-in begins at 3pm, and there's indoor or outdoor areas to chill if you're staying elsewhere.

Travel (not included)

SFO, SAC, OAK, and STS are all bigger airports. Retreat is 4-ish hours from SFO.

ACV Arcata/Eureka is my top choice - it has a car rental at the airport, is about 90 minutes from retreat, and is near the Ritz Books party on July 30th.
