Join Ann Randolph—award-winning writer, performer, and master teacher—for a 7-day immersive experience where your stories come alive.
This is not just a writing retreat.
It’s a return to your voice.
Set against the wild beauty of the Pacific—where forest meets ocean—you’ll explore memoir, personal essay, and solo performance in a way that is alive, embodied, and deeply human.
Through guided writing, improvisation, movement, and deep listening, you’ll bypass the censoring mind and access the stories that are waiting to be told.
Whether you’re just beginning or ready to take your work to the next level, this retreat meets you exactly where you are.
Come as you are. Leave with pages, perspective, and a renewed sense that your story matters.
Victoria
Let yourself exhale.
Just 20 minutes from downtown Victoria and a 2-minute drive to Elk Lake, this retreat takes place on a private, gated 4-acre property surrounded by natural beauty.
Wake to birdsong.
Write beneath trees.
Walk by the water.
You’ll also have access to nearby farm stands, wineries, cafés, and some of the most stunning coastal scenery in the Pacific Northwest.
This is a place where creativity slows down… and opens up.
STAY ON THE LAND (Recommended)
For those who want the full experience… stay on the land.
There are a limited number of on-site rooms, each part of a beautiful 5-star retreat setting designed for comfort, ease, and creative flow.
Wake up just steps from where you write.
Move from your room into the day without interruption.
Let the entire environment support your process.
These rooms tend to go quickly—and for good reason.
Being on-site allows you to be fully immersed in the rhythm and magic of the retreat.
On-site accommodations range from $100–$250/night.
Prefer a little more space or flexibility?
There are also charming hotels and rentals just 20 minutes away in Victoria, offering a variety of options.
