\"\"Nancy Stohlman and I are very excited to be returning to beautiful Peace Retreat in Costa Rica this March for another flash fiction retreat. Registrations are now open and spaces are limited,<\/a><\/strong> so I hope if you’ve been thinking of joining us for one of our well-regarded inspirational and motivational writing retreats you will make the leap now! We’d love to have you.<\/p>\n

\u201cKathy and Nancy\u2019s Writing Wild in Costa Rica was one of the best experiences I have had as a writer.\u00a0<\/span>The classes were very informative with a lot of class participation.They provided a safe atmosphere in which to share our work. The venue was beautiful, peaceful and conducive to writing.I felt relaxed and spoiled the entire week and hated to leave.I went away from the retreat confident and inspired.\u201d ~<\/span><\/strong><\/em>Laura Alexander, Writing Wild in Costa Rica<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

As Nancy writes on our website:<\/strong> “The Nicoya peninsula of Costa Rica is one of five \u201cBlue Zones\u201d<\/a>\u00a0in the world, areas where people are healthier, happier, and live longer. And if that wasn\u2019t enough, Costa Rica is also a world leader in environmental initiatives and action\u2013surrounded by the beautiful wilds they have taken it upon themselves to be leaders in preserving and caring for their piece of the planet.<\/em><\/p>\n

Find your inspiration and happiness in the Blue Zone as we write together in symbiosis with nature, breathe clean air, eat gentle, healthy foods, sleep to the sounds of the wind, shed the excess mental baggage and find our bare, creative hearts in the land of Pura Vida (pure life), all the while remembering that the care of our planet and the care of our our creativity always comes from our hearts.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Connect with your Creative Heart and discover the secrets of the Blue Zone with us in March.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n
