Apply now to reserve your spot for Story Sirens Studio’s Summer 2026 Writing Retreat, hosted in collaboration with The Placeless Blonde Events!
Join us July 16-19 in picturesque Southwest Montana for this all-ladies writer’s retreat!
This summer, trade your daily routines for crisp mountain air, wide-open skies, and a soul-restoring creative escape. Our Summer Writing Retreat is designed for inspiration, adventure, and deep reconnection — with your writing, your voice, and a supportive community of women who love stories as much as you do.
Nestled among sweeping landscapes, quiet waters, and endless stretches of nature, this retreat blends uninterrupted writing time with optional outdoor adventures that awaken the senses and spark creativity. Whether you’re journaling beside a peaceful stream, drafting chapters beneath towering trees, or sharing laughter and stories around an evening fire, you’ll find space here to slow down, breathe deeply, and let your imagination roam free.
What to Expect
Each day offers a refreshing balance of dedicated writing time, optional workshops, and opportunities to soak up the beauty and adventure of summer.
Activities include:
Guided writing exercises & creativity workshops
Peer feedback circles
Optional yoga & mindfulness sessions
Communal meals
Plenty of independent writing time
A cozy pajama party to unwind
A Day in the Life of a Story Sirens Retreater
Begin your morning with optional yoga or a peaceful stroll in nature before enjoying a nourishing breakfast. Spend your days immersed in writing sessions, creativity workshops, or relaxing outside with your notebook and the sound of waves nearby. If you wish, join one of our excursions for an extra burst of inspiration and adventure.
Evenings bring everyone together for delicious meals, meaningful conversations, and the kind of laughter that lasts long after the retreat ends.
Snacks, coffee, tea, and soda are available around the clock, and all meals are included in your retreat fee.
Again, all writing activities are optional — we want you to follow the rhythm your creativity needs most.
Who It’s For
Writers of all genres and experience levels are encouraged to join us. While the retreat leans fiction-forward, we’ve welcomed memoirists, poets, essayists, bloggers, nonfiction writers, and more. If you’re seeking a supportive, judgment-free environment to create, explore, and grow, you’ll feel right at home.
