The Haven I Writing Retreat is a Five Day, Deep Dive Into Self-Expression, Storytelling, and Sharing Your Voice.
The Haven Writing Retreat is open to any level of writer. Haven I meets you where you need to be met, whether you want to write and publish a book, or simply seek a deeper level of authentic self-expression.
Haven I Includes the following
The Haven Writing Retreat is a stand-alone program and there’s never any pressure to do the subsequent Haven programs. That said, many people sign up for Haven I because they want to be part of the dynamic Haven alum community, and even more, they are interested in working with the continuing Haven programs. Many alums also opt to do Haven I over again.

“After three decades of living the writing life, I know what writers need. I walk the walk as a writer first, and Haven is the best answer I can imagine to the overwhelming questions: Where do I start? Where do I find the real support and inspiration I need from someone I can trust? Do I have to do this alone?”
