Details of this retreat
There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you. -- MAYA ANGELOU
Treat Yourself to a Private Writing Retreat with 1:1 mentoring from #1 Amazon Bestselling author, Dr. Gabby.
Do you have a story that the world needs to hear? If you're reading this, you probably do.
Our world needs individuals who are willing to share the honest reality of who they are and the things they’ve experienced. When someone chooses to read a memoir, it means they’re searching for something. They’re searching for understanding, to gain perspective or insight, and they’re hoping to find something within YOUR STORY that they can resonate with—perhaps something that gives them hope.
Memoirs are a powerful thing! They have the ability to meet someone right where they are and provide them a sense of connection, companionship, and even healing.
For many writers, including myself, writing a memoir was NOT easy. It took me years of workshops, conferences, multiple editors and drafts before I had a manuscript that I was proud of – not to mention all of the emotional support that I needed from friends and mentors. When I finally held my book in my hands for the first time my eyes filled with tears. I was overcome with awe at what I had created.
In this TWO DAY retreat, I will teach you everything I learned in my 15-year journey so you can breakthrough any limitations or creative blocks that may be holding you back.
This retreat focuses on your story and explores a process of fully immersing yourself in the present moment to open the channels of your highest writing potential.
Relaxed yet focused, you’ll leave grounded, full of clarity, and bubbling over with renewed energy.
