Sessions
Our workshop sessions are designed uniquely for each retreat and location. From writing on black sand beaches to cozying up by a newly built fire, we’ve done it all.
At the Protagonist’s Den Writing Retreat, we’ll be venturing into new territory exploring and embodying our main characters. Whether your MC is a dragon-riding Queen or a heartbroken corporate assistant, we’ll explore what makes them tick, how to use your characters to grab agent and editor attention, and, most importantly, how to write ourselves into our pages with a little bit of magic and a truckload of catharsis.
We’ll meet every day and workshop or writing together with talks from storytellers near and far. Even our retreat activities will give you first-hand experience in what it’s like to be your MC!
Writing Workshops
Our workshops are crafted to unlock your creativity, help you find your authentic voice, and lead you on a path of self-discovery. Learning beyond the familiar—immersed in fresh perspectives, warm connections, and transformative moments—is what sets Return to the Wild’s retreats a part (em dashes and all!).
