The Bare Bones writing retreat is our no frills, most affordable getaway-to-get-sh!t-done.

The Bare Bones Writing Retreat is a budget-friendly haven for creatives seeking a quiet, inspiring environment to make progress on their projects. Nestled in a fabulous Airbnb, you'll enjoy a cozy, private or semi-private room and access to communal spaces. Choose your level of engagement with an optional daily schedule of exercises, workshops, and activities designed to fuel your creativity and productivity.

While the retreat isn’t catered some food is provided such as basics like cereal, eggs, milks, rice, pasta, and you'll have access to teas, coffee, pantry staples, and spices to support your stay. There are also several grocery stores and a plethora of delicious restaurants within walking distance.

This is your chance to get away and get it done, and bring sustainable productivity strategies home with you.
