Renew your creativity and your body next summer at a one-week memoir writing retreat at Blue Spirit Wellness Center on Costa Rica's Pacific coast. We will write jointly and separately, receive helpful feedback on our writing, and apply memoir writing techniques to our life stories.
We will have time for restorative yoga, a swim in the infinity pool, and a walk along a rustic beach surrounded by lush jungle vegetation teeming with monkeys and exotic birds.
Lodging ranges from oceanfront cottages to more economical single and double rooms in the main B&B retreat center, and guests enjoy three fresh vegetarian meals each day featuring traditional Costa Rican cuisine. Transportation from the Liberia airport, two-way, is available.
