Join Me in the New Year!

January 6-8, 2026 ✶ Online

Join the January 2026 Writing Retreat to tap into your creativity, have a hearty check-in with yourself, and access your own inspired visioning.

Participants of our retreats share that this retreat gives them:

A new sense of trust and respect for the writer inside of them
The ability to write more regularly and with ease
Opened up creativity
New tools for moving past it when stuckness happens
And more!

You can come to this retreat with a focus on a particular project, whether personal or professional. Or, you can attend not knowing what you’ll work on – the inspiration will come through the retreat! And you are more than welcome whether you think of yourself as a writer, or not.

I will support you with:

warm-up prompts and exercises to get the words flowing
my favorite insights about the creative process
Q&A sessions and help around blocks or stuck places
structured, supportive writing time
retreat recordings you can use for your own future writing sessions or to review what we’ve learned.

Past attendees share:

I hadn’t written so deeply in years. Tara’s prompts were just what I needed.
– Annie Ricci

I was surprised by how much new work I produced in such a short period of time.
– Lizah N.

I found that voice inside of me that I was searching for in my writing yet could not grab hold of. Tara’s coaching and the supportive net of accomplished women gave me the space and courage to find that voice.
– Donna K. Musial

What are the payment options?

You can make 3 monthly payments of $169 USD per month, or one payment of $495 USD. Registration includes year-long access to the recordings, and lifetime access to the retreat materials.

What’s the refund policy?

If you’ve attended the first morning of the retreat and find it’s not for you, simply request a cancellation of your registration to receive a refund.

What if I can’t attend the live sessions?

That’s okay! All of our sessions will be recorded and posted within 24 hours, available as video and audio recordings, so you can participate in the timing that works for you. We also provide full written transcripts. You can re-create the retreat experience – or parts of it – for yourself anytime you could use some extra support.

Is there prep work to do in advance of the retreat?

Not much! We’ll provide a light Getting Started document to read over, but nothing that takes much time. If you’d like, you can gather up your favorite pens and journal, but bringing a simple pen & paper will suffice too!

Can I invite a friend to sign up?

This will be a great experience to have with friends! Feel free to send them this link so they can learn more and register.

Will this work if my writing is… creative, academic, for business…

Yes. In the retreat, we will use writing prompts and exercises that will bring more creativity and energy to your writing – and this can enhance any kind of writing, whether you are writing resumés or marketing materials or research papers. During our dedicated writing time, you can continue working with prompts from Tara or turn your attention to whatever writing project you’d like to work on.

I don’t really consider myself a writer. Is this for me?

Absolutely. In my view, a “writer” is simply anyone who, in that particular moment, is writing. That’s it. There’s no such thing as “a writer” apart from that. We are here as human beings with thoughts, sentiments and ideas to articulate and express, and so we write. And many of our participants share that through the retreat they came to feel and know that they are, indeed, writers!
