Let's Work Together!
Community is perhaps the most important aspect of the writing life. Its powerful energy produces some of the best writing because it also gives the writer courage when they read their work out loud to a group of trusted individuals.
Community can form rather quickly as in the case of the Vision Board Workshop or the retreats offered. Groundwork is laid before a gathering to help participants know what to expect. This eases the fear and anxiety that comes with meeting strangers and trusting that facilitation will lead to a good outcome for the writers.

Workshops
& Retreats
From one-day workshops to immersive retreats, each experience offers a unique opportunity to explore your writing, spark creativity, and connect with others.
Vision Board Workshop
You are guided through a series of exercises to help you to focus on what is most meaningful. The structure provides time for visualization, writing, and ultimately creation of a board for participants to refer to throughout the year for inspiration. Often people will also find a word that is their guiding principle.
Stay-cation
Retreats
Experience the beauty of Turtle Hill, a 5-acre oasis located near downtown Cincinnati with a three-day writing retreat without packing a bag. From Friday evening to Sunday afternoon, enter a world of writing and community and move forward with your projects or fulfill a dream of carving out time to write.
How to Form a Writing Circle that Sustains Itself
Setting agendas and learning the art of facilitation is the goal of this one-day workshop. You will come away with potent ideas for forming a group that writes together, shares their work, and forms a writing family.
Putting Your Story Into Words
A 4 part series. In a gentle, welcoming space you are given tools to connect, remember, and create. Begin a meaningful journey of self-discovery that will guide your life stories onto paper. Reflect on memories, explore family history, shape the moments into a written legacy.
Customized
Retreats
You have a group of friends who want to gather and try something new. These retreats provide a structure with the wisdom and experience of a skilled facilitator to give your group a meaningful and fun experience.
A Beautiful Grief Retreat
If you are experiencing a transition due to the loss of someone close to you, or an animal, a marriage, a job, or facing retirement, this retreat could be for you. Specifically designed to help you navigate transitions, the program is designed to identify what is most important to living in a new reality and navigating ways to take that first step. Snug Hollow Bed and Breakfast in Irvine, Kentucky provides all meals, rooms, and a serene setting to unpack your experiences. You need only bring yourself and a willingness to rest in a community of others who are in some form of grief. Translate that grief into a gift through the writing process, sharing your words, your experiences and return home with a new perspective.
