345. DIY Writing Retreats for Kids
About this episode
The episode discusses how to create a DIY writing retreat for kids at home, emphasizing atmosphere and community.
What if a writing retreat didn’t require a plane ticket to Ireland? This week, we explore what makes writing feel spacious, playful, and alive. From Julie’s memoir retreat on the Irish Sea to Melissa’s fiction experiments with point of view, we talk about how atmosphere, community, sensory detail, and low-stakes exploration can help writers of every age drop beneath the noise of daily life. We also share practical ways to create a mini writing retreat at home for your kids, complete with snacks, freedom, feedback, and delight. Join us as we reimagine writing as nourishment for the intellect and the spirit. Resources: Catch the replays of our free Brave Writer training webinars Shop our June sale!
