Announcing the Joshua Tree Retreat!
Join Gina Frangello and Circe Consulting this April 30-May 4, 2025, for a long and restorative weekend of writing, questing, community, and pleasure-seeking, immersed in the magic of Joshua Tree National Park (but with all the comforts—and more—of home).
Featuring local guest writers Emily Rapp Black and Rob Roberge, and desert healer Athanasia Medenas, participants have a choice of staying at either of two sister properties, 29 Palms Inn or Campbell House for a special 10% Circe discount. Private and shared occupancy available, so you can choose your own adventure.
With arrival on Wednesday, April 30, and departure on Sunday, May 4, your time in between will be overflowing with intensive generative writing, craft talks, consultations, and readings, as well as one immersive day of healing and exploration that includes yoga, a vision quest, sound bath, energy healing, and psychic readings. In short, you’ll experience the best of the desert’s myriad offerings…and reawaken your own creativity along the way.
All meals provided, ranging from continental breakfasts and homemade farm-to-table picnic lunches, to home cooked dinners and a special finale dinner celebrating the local food scene.
Excursions include not only the stunning Joshua Tree National Park but a sampling of the desert’s vibrant arts and music scene!
Suitable for all writers of prose, at any experience level.
Cost*: $2,000
*Accommodations—because we are giving you a choice—are not included in the cost of the retreat. You must be staying at 29 Palms Inn or Campbell House to be included in the breakfast plan. However, there are wide-ranging accommodation options, from Airbnbs to funky motels to glamping, so whatever your taste, the desert is your oyster.
We can’t wait to show you our natural playground!
