SAVE THE DATE! MORE DETAILS COMING SOON! Our Focus & Flourish Writers Retreat will be January 24-26, 2025 at the Cavalier Inn in San Simeon--back by popular demand. It's a glorious venue beside the beach with firepits and a lovely view. There is no speaker--just inspirational opening and closing sessions, optional critique groups and plenty of time to write with four meals included. This year we're encouraging entire critique groups to come together and work throughout the weekend.
