Fearless Writing Retreats & Creative Writing Workshops
"Embrace yourself as a writer."
ClarityWorks writing retreats allow each woman to learn that the dream of giving voice to her deepest self is already a reality.
If I do not do it now, when else can I do it?
-Dogen Zenjhi
Retreat participants use Centered Writing Practice ™ to explore their individual writing journeys. Grounded within a circle of safety, support, and natural beauty, women tap into their inherent strength, finding validation and freedom from expectations while exploring the boundaries of their own truth. Fearless Writing Retreats take women deep into their creative center, combining group writing with solitude and individual writing, social interaction with silence.
Fearlessness is to be willing to risk running toward the
lion's roar. An African story tells how lionesses form a semicircle
around the antelope while the lion, himself a poor hunter,
stands at the open side and roars. Frightened by the sound,
the antelope run from the roar into the jaws of the huntresses.
If they ran toward the lion's roar, they would find freedom and safety. In the life of writers, the challenge to run toward our fear is repeated over and over, taking us deeper and deeper into discovering the truth of who we are and what we have to say—our story.
- Peggy Tabor Millin
