Screenwriting Retreats

HAVE YOU EVER DREAMED OF A WRITING GETAWAY?

Ever longed to escape to a place where the only thing that mattered was your writing? Ever imagined yourself in a writer’s paradise where creativity flowed naturally and beauty was all around you?

Then come join me for a life changing retreat of writing, creative exploration and meditation in tranquil Costa Rica.

Each night, we’ll have movies under the stars, projected on a huge screen, as well as discussions, seven-act structure breakdowns, and special surprises designed to capture the spirit of Costa Rica and put you in touch with your creativity.

We’ve rented the entire hotel for the exclusive use of our writers, ensuring that your writing day will be free from distractions, and surrounded by a community of fellow writers as dedicated to their craft as you are to yours.

CLASSES & WORKSHOPS

Every retreat is different, because each retreat is built around the specific needs of our writers, assuring everyone who attends gets the individualized attention they need. Here’s a brief list of some of the classes offered at last year’s retreat:

Screenwriting Workshops, Hypnosis For Writers Block, Meditative Writing, Screenplay Format, Writing For Coverage Readers, Writing For Production, Taking Notes & Giving Feedback, The Art of The Rewrite, Seven Act Structure, Pitching & Marketing For Writers, Goal Setting, Building A Writer’s Lifestyle and More!

THE HOTEL

Nestled between a protected mangrove forest and the hidden white sands of Buena Vista beach, and reserved exclusively for the use of our students, our hotel is the perfect creative paradise.

Its gorgeous air-conditioned rooms and bungalows are tucked away within its lush tropical grounds, complete with indoor and outdoor writing nooks, ping pong, pool, and fusbol tables, and some of the most innovative architectural design in all of Costa Rica.

Creatively inspired in its design, the hotel also offers a once in a lifetime way to experience the beauty of Costa Rica, with its own airstrip, and a small fleet of gyro-copters. Schedule an optional gyro-copter tour, and experience the majesty of Costa Rica from the sky.

EXCURSIONS AND EXPLORATIONS

Take a zip-line canopy tour of the Costa Rican rain forest. Visit the nearby turtle sanctuary and watch the giant sea turtles lay their eggs on the beach. Ride horseback through the forest or along the coast.

Ride a bike through the local villages. Snorkel along the coral reef. Enjoy local music and freshly caught fish around a bonfire at the beach. Or just take a long walk alone on the white sand. You’re staying in one of the most breathtaking places in the world, where creativity and natural beauty are omnipresent.

For the group, we’ll be offering several optional tours at discounted rates. The hotel owners, Petra and Andrea, are a fountain of knowledge and can also help you book your own tours so you can experience Costa Rica in your own way.
