Sage Mountain Institute's in-person retreats are for the person who wants a time set apart to dedicate to writing and listening to their spirit. Writing prompts and other practices are particularly chosen to help experienced and novice writers follow "the golden thread" of their own creativity. Our retreats do not focus on craft, but on developing practices that allow writers to let go of inner critic, stop feeding the insatiable ego, and follow where the spirit is taking us. 

Retreats take place in various locations in Leadville, Colorado where the stunning mountain views and storied history lends inspiration. Participants are responsible for finding their own housing (often our retreat location has a few rooms available). Some meals are included, see particular retreats for details.
