Playa La Saladita, Mexico
Aloha, friends!
My name is Lauren Hutton and I'm a writer. I have successfully self-published three non-fiction books and am working on my fourth. I also write on a patron page for subscribers as well as a well-known blog for a very niche audience of readers. For me, it's all about finding what you uniquely offer and then connecting with readers who connect deeply with your uniqueness.
I have a background in journalism, speechwriting, and public relations plus four years experience facilitating creative play with individuals and small group settings. Like many of you I am itching to get off Zoom, and get back to face-to-face time and the intimacy of community it provides.
Next year I will host two writing retreats. One will be for non-fiction writers and the other for fiction writers, but if the two overlap or one time is better for you than another, no problem. Creativity is all about fluidity - and always comes when we are relaxed, rather than working super hard.
My vision is to create a space of deep relaxation for each of you, to allow the creative flow to naturally bubble up, flowing from pen to paper, rather than forced in a restrictive structure. Plus, we have a beautiful gentle wave out front and live in a tropical paradise. What more could you ask for?!
My knowingness is that you will come out of the week with some solid ideas, words down on paper, and plan to get your writing to the world. While this will focus on the creative side, one session will focus on the logistics of getting your words into the world.
I am so excited to play, create and relax with you all!
