62. How to Plan a Writing Retreat (Rerun)

Season 7
Written By Nicole Gulotta

In honor of spring break, we're revisiting a popular episode from Season 6. If you’re ready to give yourself the gift of space, time, and rest, this episode is for you. I’m sharing the highs and lows of writing retreat I took with a friend, plus lots of takeaways to help you plan your own DIY getaway.

Highlights

  • Why even one night away is always worth it (and how to make the most of a short trip)

  • Thinking through the when, where, and how—logistics are covered

  • The pros and cons of solo vs. group retreats

  • The value of meal planning (including my favorite sparkling water and a tip for when you return home)

  • Seeing the momentum before and after a retreat as adding the overall experience

  • How to capture retreat magic at home
