The Pace of Spring - March Craft Workshop

Poet discusses artistic practice as we transition into spring. What does this coming season of emergence mean for us as we turn to the page? What does the planet prompt as the buds get ready to burst open? There are ways we can listen and attune to the world around us and this connection with the natural world has a direct influence on our energy. Jacqueline will offer up rituals and discussion around this potent time of year and reflect on how it affects our creativity.

Tune in to The Practice to join!

WRITING PROMPT ✨

What you didn’t know before. Start with this line and see where it goes.

What I didn’t know before is that every hour lost is gained elsewhere, in tiny moments
Our time carries all this meaning, their time is all there is.

Every retreat has its own alchemy, shaped by the women who feel called to be there, the particular location, and who we are in that moment as hosts. It is a tapestry that cannot be duplicated—only recreated in its own image. Each one is unique.

Again and again on retreat, women pull us aside to share their deep river of gratitude and tell us: I don’t know what I expected, but it wasn’t this. What we have come to understand is that there is an essence to this experience that cannot be captured on Instagram or in a newsletter, no matter how dreamy our images and words may be. It can only be lived.

This may be a writing retreat, but we have come to recognize it is so much more. We believe that writing lives in the body and that creativity is an act of resilience. So, we tend not just to the craft on the page but to the deep work that happens within us—to come to the page with confidence, clarity, and true connection. We are excavating. We are working. We do not leave the same.

If any of this or all of this strikes a little bell in the back of your mind or plucks at your heartstrings, if you hear a small voice saying, I need this. I could do this. This is for me, then join us June 1–6 in beautiful Puglia for five days of peace, pasta, and possibility. The early bird sale ends March 7th!

Let’s talk about tomatoes, about the picture hanging above the dining table, about contrasts and synchronicities and similarities. Let’s talk about our hearts, what it’s enduring what its craving, what it fails to know.

WRITING PROMPT ✨

You lose some, you gain some. What have you lost recently and what has come anew as a result of that loss? What have you found?

We love starting with a list and then going over it and picking one idea that really stands out. So start with a list. It could be a person, a moment, an opportunity… then go from there.

Not going to lie, we are tired. Things have been feeling… um… heavy. When putting this next retreat together we really thought about what we needed more of, what we felt would bring a boost of creativity, what we wanted to add to the world at this moment. What came to mind was romance. We need more romance. Not in the sense we usually come to think of it, but in the way looking at like from a romantic point of view creates so many possibilities.

In Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance romanticism plays a crucial role in expanding the narrator’s relationship to quality, rationality, and personal fulfilment. This is a lesson we think of often, as the world can sometimes push us towards a more analytical, practical, structured way of being.

With that, we’ve decided to add some more romance back into our writing life. Creativity, like love, flourishes when nurtured with tenderness, intrigue, and a touch of the unexpected. Writing isn’t just a discipline—it’s a seduction, a dance between inspiration and expression. To romance your inner writer is to create the conditions for magic. To trade the humdrum for beauty, to treat your craft like a beloved muse. feeding it with rich experiences and stolen moments of stillness. Writing cannot thrive on deadlines and caffeine alone; it needs moonlit walks, half-forgotten dreams, and the intoxicating thrill of putting the right words in the right order.

Join us in Puglia June 1-6 for 5 days of slow moving delight. Link to presale in the bio ✨

A lot can happen at a writing retreat. Yes, people get a lot of writing done but also, friendships are formed. Long lasting, sisterhood type of connections. To be honest, that’s the real gift of this experience. To do something you usually do alone with someone else who GETS IT. We are always proud to look back and see women who met on our retreat doing life together. That’s what makes us keep going. Come find your new soul sister ✨

We have 1 space left in a shared room at our upcoming Mexico retreat at

It can feel a bit crazy to do something for yourself when every time you turn around there’s something outrageous to be worrying about. Stress literally drives us to a state of paralysis, and next thing we know we are watching the person we used to be from a distance.

To remain creative when it’s the last thing on your mind is a work of resistance, for succumbing to paralysis is a much easier way to cope with discomfort.

Whether you just had a baby and are grappling with your sense of identity or just ended a relationship, left a job, moved countries… writing will always be there as a source of solace, a mirror, a place to go.

We considered pausing retreats this year after feeling a lot of these big world shifts but then came to the conclusion writing is exactly how we will get through it.

If you are looking for the community, the challenge, and the shift in perspective, we are here.

There’s 1 spot left on the Mexico retreat. You can also find us in Puglia this summer.

We love you.

“I write, erase, rewrite,
erase again, and then
a poppy blooms.”

WRITING PROMPT: when was the last time you had no words? the last time saying something felt futile, unjust, unimportant. Write about that moment.

A few quiet moments from our Portugal Retreat to close the year. A note that we are grateful for what we have made and holding true for what will be. Taking this time to be still and to hold tight what matters most. And tomorrow, we get back to the work.

If you’d like to start 2025 by committing to your writing life, join us in Mexico. There is one spot left and a few hours left in 2024 for tax write offs! Who’s going to grab it?
