Video: A Preview of the Advent & Christmastide Solo Writing Retreat Guides

Here’s a Zoom video preview of the Advent & Christmastide Solo Writing Retreat Guides. A few things to note about the Advent & Christmastide Solo Writing Retreat Guides:

  1. With this format, there are dozens of options for various retreats, so you can use it this year and in subsequent years. I will continue to add additional Writing Prompts, Reading Selections, Contemplative Practices, Notes Prompts, and Movement Prompts, so there will continue to be new options moving forward.

  2. The format is quite versatile and customizable.

  3. There’s a 40-Minute Re-Centering Micro Retreat option for Advent and Christmastide that you can plan and begin within a few minutes of purchasing these Solo Writing Retreat Guides

A few things to note about this Zoom video preview:

  1. I did not finish my cup of coffee before recording this, so I’m moving a tad slow and might still be waking up in the video.

  2. I say I’m only going to show you the Advent Solo Writing Retreat Guide options but I also give you a glimpse of the Christmastide Solo Writing Retreat Guide.

  3. At the end I say I hope to write with you or meet with you soon. I usually end my SDW Co-Writing Sessions by saying I hope to write with you again soon, so I guess that’s where that came from. And I added “meet with you soon” because I realized I said the wrong thing at the wrong time and decided to just go ahead and make it more awkward. If you participate in the Co-Writing Sessions or if you’re a current client or a new client starting in January or February, I guess it applies!

Anyway. I hope this video gives you a good idea of what’s included in the Advent & Christmastide Solo Writing Retreat Guides. I love this Solo Writing Retreat format and hope you do too! Please feel free to email me at charlotte@charlottedonlon.com if you have any questions about the Solo Writing Retreat Guides. Thanks so much!

Also! Stay tuned. More Solo Writing Retreat Guides are coming soon!
