Meditation & Writing
Retreat
MAY 13–17 IN THE COLORADO ROCKIES
The Fearless Creativity retreat offers uninterrupted time to write, meditate, and listen deeply. This retreat isn’t about instruction or critique. It’s about creating the conditions where writing becomes joyful, natural, and alive. Bring a project, an idea, or simply a longing to write, and let meditation and community support the work you’re ready to do.
