“I’ve never had such a wonderful experience with so many beautiful loving and supportive women. I learned so much from Jennifer and Suzanne. I know I will go home with a positive and joyful attitude. And I can’t wait to start writing!” –Jeanne Laundy, 2006 Participant

“I feel like I fell in love with myself, the woman I discovered at the Writer’s Spa! I always knew she was in there but it was wonderful having the help to get her to come out and shine. Your Spa went way beyond my expectations, and let me tell you… I had really high expectations!” –Karen Booy, 2004 & 2005 Participant

This week-long workshop is designed for serious or professional writers, artists, performers and other creative thinkers who want to rekindle the spark and their commitment to their creative work. (We call it the Writer’s Spa, but year after year it seems to attract all sorts of artistic souls.)

It’s also for any busy, working creators who wish time to rest, juice their creativity, and get a new perspective on their process.

The Writer’s Spa is even for those with a creative vision of any kind that needs some clarity or a shot of mojo.

More than just a writer’s retreat or workshop, this is a spa, a place to relax, and unwind with your creative work.

We help you renew and nurture your creative soul — and that helps you claim your full emotional power as a writer or artist of any kind.

“The experience just gets better and better for me every year! My second time around I was able to take my writing and my attitude to the next level and only because of Suzanne and Jennifer.

Their concerns with my comfort, happiness, satisfaction and everything truly makes the spa a retreat.” –Dana Boyd, 2006 Participant.

Spend the week with Jennifer Louden, coach and author of six books, including the bestseller The Woman’s Comfort Book, and Suzanne Falter-Barns, creative marketing consultant and author of the creativity classics, How Much Joy Can You Stand? and Living Your Joy. Together, they’ll provide supportive coaching, in a structured, non-competitive, beautiful retreat environment.

“The Writer’s Spa offers a truly integral approach to writing, encompassing spirituality, creativity, critical thinking, reflection, and multiple learning styles.
