Private Writing and Wellness Retreat for Personal Storytelling

This retreat is all about one thing: your story. Dr. Gabby, who spent fifteen years getting her own memoir published, has designed a process to help you break through creative blocks and find your voice. The days are structured but not rigid—mornings start with meditation to align your mind, then you get two solid hours of writing, followed by a lunch break and a beach walk to keep your body moving. Afternoons bring another writing block and end with a one-on-one mentoring session to review your work and tackle any challenges. The setting is the Northwood Retreat Sanctuary, a 1953 historic center near the intercoastal waters, just minutes from Palm Beach Island. You can choose to add a night at a luxury hotel of your choice—Dr. Gabby helps pick one that matches your style—or book the retreat-only option and arrange your own stay. The retreat is fully customizable: you have a pre-retreat call to discuss your project, and during the day, you can adjust the schedule to fit your needs. It's a rare chance to unplug, focus, and make real progress on your writing, with the guidance of someone who's been where you are.
