A Soft Space for Hard Times: A Writing & Mindfulness Retreat for Women (in-person)


JJoin us in the studio Nov 6-8 for A Soft Space for Hard Times, a retreat for women.

It’s no secret that most of us are struggling to keep up with the daily doses of outrage, injustice & collective grief we’re witnessing in our world. Keeping ourselves balanced & hopeful takes conscious, intentional effort right now. In this cozy and creative retreat, we’ll use guided, expressive writing exercises, creativity & contemplative practice to explore the challenges we’re all facing and weights we’re carrying, strategies for dealing with them, and guidance for finding balancing points between grief & gratitude, rage & joy, struggle & whimsy, darkness & light. As we shift into the dark season of the year, lean into the light you carry within and the light of this intentional communal experience to keep your fires burning. This is a perfect way to indulge in some self-care before the whirlwind of the holiday season.

Our retreat begins on Friday evening, Nov 6 at 6:00 for dinner together and an opening evening session. We’ll be together on Saturday from 10am-2pm, and again from 5-8pm for dinner and another evening session. You’ll have free time to explore the Hudson Valley from 2-5pm on Saturday. Our final session is Sunday morning, from 10am-12pm (breakfast included).

Our retreat will cap at 8 participants, keeping it intimate.Register here.
