solo / couples retreat

Deepen your process by working privately with Alan to take your work to the next level. Come to Salt Spring Island on the west coast of Canada for a life-changing exploration into the world of your story.

Set on five acres, our retreat center is a place of creative solitude. This solo (and small group) intensive retreat includes one-on-one zoom sessions prior to arrival, and is followed by three monthly check-ins to integrate the work. Includes luxury accommodation and organic farm to table meals.

The retreat is a focused two-night, three-day intensive that runs from Friday afternoon through Sunday at noon. You will begin with a two-hour intake session on Friday, where Alan reviews your pre-submitted outline material and helps you begin to uncover the deeper structure of your story. Following this session, you’ll spend time writing in preparation for Saturday’s work.

On Saturday, you meet with Alan for two in-depth three-hour sessions—morning and afternoon—to brainstorm, explore character and theme, and build the architecture of your project.

Sunday morning is the final two-hour integration session, where you will synthesize the discoveries of the weekend and set a clear path forward with Alan’s help.

Note: This retreat is only available to current and former students.
