266 - How to Have Your Own Writers Retreat

Maybe you’ve dreamed of getting a group of writerly friends together and spending a weekend away dedicated to your craft. Or perhaps you’re an experienced writer who would like to encourage other writers along the way.  Several years ago, Kathi and Roger Lipp decided to host retreats for writers, and now they’re sharing their expertise with us! Listen in as the duo discuss common misconceptions about retreat planning and the six components that will make any writer’s retreat successful.  Key takeaways include: The importance of creative learning breaks. The need to leave having accomplished something. Checkmarks! Showing vulnerability through a shared experience. Celebrating one another’s writing wins.
