Daily Themes
Every day will be dedicated to a different theme or element to guide us in our writing,
exploration, and creative expression.
Monday: Awakening the Artist Within. On Monday, we will wake up fresh and ready to ignite the inner creator. Our workshop will focus on awakening the muse, listening to your intuition, and opening yourself up to divine inspiration. We’ll practice poetry-infused yoga in the morning, set our creative intentions for the week, and spend the afternoon soaking in the magic of the city around us.
Tuesday: the Past.
On Tuesday, we’ll visit Monte Alban and reflect on the history of the Mexican land where we are staying. We’ll dedicate our writing workshops to reflecting and writing about our personal history. Emily will lead the workshop on the Art of Memoir and we’ll dive into the process of turning our personal experience into story. We’ll end the evening with a Full Moon Ceremony with live music and reflection.
Wednesday: the Purge.
As we reflect on our past, we may realize that some of our stories and limiting self-beliefs are better left behind. We’ll use the lingering energy of the Full Moon to work through emotional blocks that may affect our expression. Liat will lead us in a vocal activation workshop, designed to access our inner creative power through music and sound. We’ll also offer an optional Temazcal (a traditional Mesoamerican sweat lodge ceremony) for anyone seeking deeper purification and spiritual connection.
Thursday: the Present.
On Thursday, we’ll travel to the mountains and spend the day immersed in nature. We will let the Earth be our guide as we soak in the Hierve el Agua Spring, walk through the trees, and journal while overlooking sweeping views of the mountains and petrified waterfalls. Liat and Emily will co-lead the workshop on collaborative creativity and how we draw upon the natural world for inspiration, symbolism, and metaphor.
Friday: The Future.
We will enjoy one last day in Oaxaca together with plenty of time in the afternoon to explore the city. Today’s workshop will be focused on our central theme—writing from the soul. In the evening, we will celebrate the end of our retreat with an integration ceremony so we can set intentions about how we can channel our creativity and stay committed to our projects when we go back home.
Saturday:
We’ll share one final breakfast together at the villa and then depart.
