INK & INSPIRATION RETREATS
We all carry stories within us.
​
Writing a book or a legacy piece is an incredibly powerful experience. Even if it’s just for yourself, the act of telling your story can bring about profound healing. When I wrote and self-published my memoir, Silent Warrior – Transformation, it wasn’t just about sharing my journey with the world; it was a deeply transformative experience that helped me see my past through new eyes, bringing closure and healing to moments I once found painful.
​
Publishing is just one path. Even if you don’t choose to go down that road, writing about your life is a priceless gift to yourself and a legacy for your family and future generations. Think about it—do you know the full story of your grandparents’ lives? The challenges they faced, the jobs they worked, the dreams they had? I wish I did, but those stories are lost to time because they were never shared.
​
If you’ve ever dreamed of capturing your life on the page, here's your chance to get started and learn from me.

INK & INSPIRATION WRITING RETREAT
17-23 May 2026​
Where the journey to your memoir masterpiece begins...
Refine your writing and elevate your story with a hands-on editing escape...
You've written your manuscript (or are well on the way), but that's just the start of your book journey. In order to publish a book that's worthy of the time, energy, blood, sweat, and tears you've put into it, you also need the skills to refine it before you start employing professionals to take it to the next level.
Imagine... having the dedicated time and space to make amazing progress with your manuscript editing! No distractions from family or other obligations. Just you, your laptop, and the company of committed fellow writers by your side.
​
In this immersive 5-day retreat in BALI, you will be guided and tutored by editing superstar Helen Thornton-Gussy of Edit Co. and Paula Johnson, self-published author and writing retreat facilitator, to ensure ​you learn, have fun, connect, and most of all, make progress on your editing journey!
​
NOTE: This retreat is for those wanting to learn the art of editing their own work. It is NOT for those who want to use AI to do so.
