You have a book in you! And no one else can write your story, your message, your book. So, why haven’t you written it yet? No time? Crazy schedule? You keep thinking you’ll do it in your spare time or somehow a block of time will open. That "time" just never seems to appear. Write and publish your book. Nurture yourself with organic food and daily yoga!
Balance Bethlehem is a gem of a retreat and healing center. It is visually stunning, green, and nestled in a Birch tree grove. It's where you'll enjoy daily yoga as well as our writing classes and workshops.
The Historic Mulburn Inn could be your home away from home. It is a mansion where Hollywood icons from the '40s used to go to hide out to honeymoon (and where the gorgeous gas stove that was gifted by Thomas Edison is still in use). You will sleep in old-world comfy private rooms. Your welcoming hostess, Mary, thinks of everything and even provides thoughtful modern touches like a Jacuzzi room!
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 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.
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.
If not now, when?
If not you, who?
Don't make 'someday' become the tragedy of 'never'.
Don't let your lifetime of experiences and wisdom be lost for posterity.
Your time is now.
Let Dorothy help you make it happen.
