This retreat was such a success in the Spring, we've brought it back for another round!

Are you a writer who needs a creative boost? Struggles to unearth your unique voice? Craves some tender care and restorative time away from the demands of everyday life? Join writers and creativity coaches Jane Thatcher and Joy Sawyer for a transformative weekend retreat in Santa Fe, New Mexico, October 1st to the 4th, 2026. This retreat is designed to help you reconnect with your creative spirit, deepen your writing practice, and rediscover joy in your creative life, all while soaking in the beauty, culture, and quiet magic of the high desert.

​

Through a combination of hands-on writing exercises, creative prompts, and art-inspired activities, you’ll explore fresh approaches to your writing and discover new pathways into your voice and imagination. You’ll also focus on boosting your writing productivity and learning how to sustain your creative momentum long after the retreat ends.

​

We know every writer is unique. That’s why you’ll also receive personalized, one-on-one coaching from Jane and Joy. Whether you’re navigating writer’s block, wrestling with self-doubt, or seeking new ways to nurture your creative life, we’ll share compassionate, practical techniques to help you unlock your full potential.

​

In addition, you’ll enjoy generous spacious time to write, reflect, and savor the rich cultural landscape of Santa Fe. Wander adobe-lined streets and local galleries, explore the city’s world-renowned arts scene, visit historic plazas and museums, or simply sit beneath the wide New Mexico sky in quiet contemplation. Whether you choose to rest, create, or wander, you’ll leave the retreat feeling grounded, renewed, and creatively alive.
