YOGA AND WRITING
DAY RETREAT
With Jessica Miller & Lisa Fugard
Saturday, June 22nd / 10:30am-5:00pm
Temescal Canyon Gateway Park Conference & Retreat Center
You are invited to join Yoga Instructor & UZIT (Urban Zen Integrative Therapist) Jessica Miller alongside Author, Writing Coach & Teacher Lisa Fugard for a beautiful Day Retreat.
Our intention for this experience is to provide a safe space to allow you to find your inner voice and delve a little deeper into your truth and what you want to say. Whether you are a writer or not, our hope is that you explore the value of putting your thoughts down on paper or in a private journal. There is no wrong way to do this, all you need is the spirit and willingness to try!

The Retreat
Throughout the day, you will receive several creative journaling prompts. To help with your writing practice, we will move through breath work, meditation, and gentle/restorative yoga designed to relax your body & mind and allow you to trust your voice while uncovering stories and feelings that belong to you. During the retreat, you will have plenty of time for quiet, private reflection in our gorgeous park setting in the Pacific Palisades, all while enjoying the camaraderie of like-minded women in a safe environment of sisterhood and tranquility.
We do ask that you bring your favorite writing tools (journal, laptop, paper, pens, etc.), along with your own yoga props and mats. You will need:
- A yoga mat
- A yoga bolster
- 1 yoga block
- 1 yoga strap
- 2 yoga blankets
Any of your favorite cozy blankets and/or pillows are also highly recommended for maximum comfort!
Please let us know ahead of time if you do not have any yoga props and we can help you acquire some.
