Find Out If Emily's Retreat Is for You...
My retreat in Bar Harbor is intimate and personalized. Participation is limited to nine women and is open to all levels of writers. For ten days, we gather in a creative womb where we gestate and give birth to our characters, stories and our Inner Writer.
The Experience of the Retreat
Writing is more than words. It’s more than sitting in front of your computer or curled up, pad and pen in hand. Writing is more than telling a good story, more than selling your story. Writing is a gift, a journey and an expression of the most vulnerable and exciting part of who you are. Writing is an experience.
It is this experience into which we immerse ourselves at Rising Sun, my home in Bar Harbor, Maine. Here you will explore the fullness of your creative self― unfettered by the demands of daily life. Together we will write and explore the dance of creativity as we follow our Inner Writers through the inner landscapes where our characters and stories live.
For the writer, these inner landscapes of the imagination can be more real than anything in the outer world. This is a difficult concept to explain, even to our closest family members and friends. It's sometimes difficult to explain to ourselves. Who understands? Other writers, which is why being part of a writing community is so powerful. At Rising Sun, in a circle of women, our Inner Writers will fly unfettered.
What can you expect to bring home?
"I know this retreat affected my writing. I know I have changed. I have grown more accepting of myself. I have let myself fly unfettered and alive. I have felt childlike and adult at the same time, responsible for the process but enjoying it with the wonder of a small child. It has been simply amazing." Michelle Burton
By the end of our phone call, you’ll know if you’d like to work with me, if you’d enjoy our retreat in Bar Harbor, and if your writing would benefit from your joining us.
"Emily is a magically gifted teacher who recognizes that we all possess the ability to awaken the power of self-discovery. With her guidance, I learned to hush my inner critic and discover hidden parts of me that delight in the unseen. This supports not only my writing but my sense of myself. This is where I believe creativity lives."
~ Cathy Rakov, a participant in the August 2007 Retreat
