Equinox in Ixtapa! Come Write With Us On The Ocean This March!

Originally Published September 3rd, 2019

Dear Writers,

You asked and you asked and we finally answered: our first Elephant Rock international writing retreat is finally scheduled for March 21-28, 2020 in Ixtapa, Mexico on the shores of the beautiful and mighty Pacific Ocean.

We’ll be writing, yoga-ing, meditating, and adventuring at a renowned seaside wellness center at the height of the spring equinox. We could not be more thrilled by this opportunity to incorporate sea, sand, sun, and the enormity of nature into our written work as we dive deep into the inherent equinox tension between light and dark. Imagine the narrative possibilities of that natural dichotomy! You will leave with new work in hand plus an array of new tools and strategies for continuing to create, expand, and revise work long after the retreat is over.

All of the Ixtapa details (themes, inclusions, costs, and more) are here. In a nutshell, the retreat includes 7 nights room & board (all meals) and ground transportation to Present Moment. Travel to Ixtapa and resort extras are not included. Note that we can only accept 15 writers and seven spots are already claimed, so please reach out today with your questions. We will do our very best to help you decide if this retreat is right for you. We cannot wait to hear from you!

Meanwhile, please know we have other opportunities to write together!

Two spots in our amazing Art of the Fractured remote writing workshop on the magic of fragmented forms (starting September)

Three spots in our Visceral Self: Writing the Body remote workshop (starting November)

One spot each in our October and November Write for Your Life memoir intensives in Minneapolis

That’s all for now! We’re so excited about this change of seasons and all of the surging artistic energy we can bring to the months ahead. Let’s create!

Warmly,

Jeannine
