6 Day The White Mountain Book Writing Retreat with Daily Yoga and Organic Food in New Hampshire

Facilities

Registration requirements

This book writing retreat is open to writers of all levels, from beginner to professional. It is perfect for nonfiction writers, however, a few fiction writers have come and progressed. How do you know if you’re "a writer"? Because you write and can tell stories. However, Dorothy only wants you to come if you yearn to make a loving, creative commitment to yourself.

You will enjoy yoga that will open you up, but not stress you out each morning. Then, sip on some tea and head into your Birth a Book class and workshops. You will be amazed at how much you accomplish in a short time. You’ll bond with your bright and warm new friends in class who will support your creative efforts as you delight in supporting theirs.

This isn’t your typical writing retreat

This writing retreat's sole aim isn't writing. This is a writing retreat whose goal is to reach deep inside yourself and get you on your way to writing and publishing the book that is going to change your life, your career, and your income.

You are welcome to join even if you are confused, or even clueless about book writing. No matter what your reason is for wanting to write a book, or what level of clarity you have now, you will leave crystal clear and confident on your way to becoming a published author.

This retreat is for you if

• You long to get your book writing project to the next step and learn what you need to know to get your book published. You could use a big dose of self-nurturing and a life adventure.
• You enjoy hanging out with smart, loving, supportive people, creating and sharing big ideas.
• You’ve just decided you want to write a book, been putting it off for years, need to rework a book you have already published, or you’re writing your 10th book. Great! This is a "welcome-all-authors" retreat!
• You are a coach, wellness professional, teacher, or someone with an inspirational story. You long to get your message out into the world.
• You are ready to embrace more career, opportunities, more personal and financial freedom. ​You are oh so ready to increase your impact and your income.
• You are ready to enjoy sharing what you know and feel proud about making your contribution to a better planet.

What will you actually get out of this week?

• You'll feel happy and supported and feel joy! You will laugh out loud often.
• You’ll feel less alone. Do you worry you will not fit in? That will not happen. *Birth a Book works in a big loving community where you will be embraced.
• You'll get to rest. To renew. To deeply recharge and reconnect to your strength and energy.
• You’ll get fresh new perspective on your book and maybe your life.
• You’ll disengage from habits of mind and body that don’t serve you.
• And oh my, you’ll get the pleasure of being heard, appreciated and cared for. You will not have to lift a finger to cook, clean, or take care of anyone else. This sacred time out will be just for you!
• ​You’ll get your book writing project moved forward to the next level and fully planned in all its steps from the magical to the mundane.

If you're ready to embrace more career opportunities, more personal and financial freedom, then join Birth a Book.

If you're ready to enjoy sharing what you know and do, and feel proud about making your valuable contribution to improving the world...then join Birth a Book.

Bethlehem, New Hampshire is a tiny little New England town that is a perfect place to be in the summer. It is filled with friendly people and a handful of charming businesses. And, it’s surrounded by mural-like White Mountain vistas and has notable crisp fresh air. Bethlehem is a hip town with an independent movie theater, cool outdoor café, a regional craft brewery, and a few small independent shops.

Enjoy 5 breakfasts, 4 farm-to-table plant-based lunches, and 1 plant-based welcome dinner. Write your book fueled by delicious food and delightful people. You will eat farm-to-table organic food, including daily fresh green drinks.

Your welcome dinner will be hosted at The Historic Mulburn Inn. All local organic farm to table breakfasts will also be served at the Inn. Lunches will be served inside or outdoors at the retreat center or at the outdoor inspiration expedition sites.

And remember, Dorothy wrote the book, "Love Food that Loves You Back", so she will ensure the food will be every bit as healthy (local and organic) as scrumptious.
