We can go around the world or we can go around the block Wherever we wind up there is magic to be found. My Write & Roam Iceland retreat was fantastic. The words people wrote, the places we roamed, the experiences we shared, it was spectacular. (see testimonials below)
As much as I would love to, I can’t go to Iceland every month. What I can do is host writing groups in person and online and in mini-retreats designed to fulfill the desire to keep writing, connecting, and creating.

That is why I searched high and low for a special place to inspire us in every way. Rushing water? Check. Gorgeous views? Check. Delicious vegetarian meals? Check. A place to retreat, write, and share in a beautiful home? Check. Mid-week availability to make all this super affordable? Yup, I did that.
Join me in May at Casa Om on the majestic Potomac River in Martinsburg, West Virginia. 60 spectacular acres of lush hiking trails, ancient caves, and rolling hills. Our rooms are furnished with hand-carved furniture from India, designed to be peaceful, cozy, and beautiful. A room with a view of the river, a balcony, a patio, and a pool. A cold plunge tub. Massages available. Oh, and we will write the hell out of it!
Inspired by the surroundings and encouraged to go within through meditation and prompts, we will be nourished through our words, food, drink, and good company.
I like to keep these gatherings intimate, so I’m only taking 10 people. My Iceland trip maxed out in a month and I had to add an extra week to accommodate all those that wanted to join. It was a blast for me to be in Iceland for 16 days but Casa Om is booked up pretty far in advance, so I won’t be able to add extra days this time.
Take a look at your calendar, specifically Monday,, May 13 through Thursday May 16, and see if you can take that time for yourself, time to be delighted and surprised at what shows up when you settle down, when you are taken care of in every way. When you don’t have to be anywhere or do anything you don’t want to. This is a retreat for you.

Oh I promised testimonials. Here ya go:
“I. LOVE. SUSAN'S. WRITING. CLASS and the Gateless method. This class allowed me to discover my writer. If you've ever had an inkling to write, then this is where you can discover your voice. It's encouraging and supportive, inviting your writer to come out and explore. Susan provides a safe environment to express yourself whether it's a list of words, phrases, or sentences.” MR
“My Write-and-Roam trip to Iceland under Susan's enthusiastic leadership was just what the doctor ordered! Great generative prompts, helpful crafts tips, wonderful writing and feedback, amazing sights, and delicious meals in simple but elegant lodging amongst a group of warm, open, intuitive women (and one man). Our Icelandic guide Heida was terrific too. Highly recommend.” DR
“My favorite parts of the trip were having regular writing practice to look forward to, and the restaurants were enjoyable. The trip was well led and planned and well explained, and what was planned was clear. There was enough flexibility and light-heartedness to make it easy and fun. The writing time really helped to break the ice and to get acquainted with each other.” CM
