Carolyn Flynn and Karen Leslie鈥檚 long-cherished vision: To host a writing retreat offering generative workshops in the art of Storytelling and Songwriting, and where the setting is exceptional. Stories & Songs Writing Retreat materialized out of that vision with three tracks: Storyteller, Songwriter, and Hybrid, each aimed at producing new writing and new songs.

They wanted a writing retreat with workshops featuring individual feedback and cross-genre study that examines the shared elements between stories and songs: musicality, lyricism, rhyming action, compression, voice, recurring motifs, 鈥渇lashbulb鈥� images, co-writing, patterns, arc, and repetition. Together with Grammy-nominated hit songwriter Clay Mills (Songwriter Track), they mapped out a dive deep into creativity, craft, and process.

The last part of the puzzle fell into place when thinking about the actual time at the retreat. So, they designed the workshop schedule with dedicated writing blocks built in鈥攁ll while living and eating in an inspiring place. Carolyn, Karen, and Clay believe the perfect setting brings stardust to the Stories & Songs Writing Retreat.
