Register on Eventbrite
This is day-long online retreat focusing on brainstorming and developing ideas for fiction writing in all forms. It’s open to TV, film, novel, or short story writers — aspiring or professional. No Yoga experience necessary.
We’ll start the day with Yoga, meditation and guided journaling to center ourselves and clear our minds, before moving onto two writing workshops. You’ll leave feeling inspired, grounded, and excited to write.
Give yourself a day to intentionally center yourself, connect to your core self, and think deeply about how you want to spend 2023. Let's drop into our bodies and consciously set ourselves up for success next year.
The workshop is hosted by Ali Vingiano, a TV writer (The Morning Show), and 200h certified Yoga teacher from One Down Dog in Los Angeles. There will be opportunities to share your work with Ali, both in the session, and afterwards via email for the remainder of January. Space is limited to ensure personalized feedback.
The entire day is only $159, and the full schedule is listed below.

Testimonials for this workshop:
“Ali’s virtual retreat was such a great start to my year! The visualizations and intention-setting were so grounding, and the brainstorming exercises helped me get started on new ideas after a long lull in my writing. I highly recommend it!” — Kristen
“I've recently been in a rut writing-wise while trying to finish edits on a pilot, so I decided to take Ali's zoom workshop. I was hesitant about the yoga portion since I haven't done yoga in over seven years, and frankly, yoga makes me anxious. All the breathing usually doesn't relax me, but the moves and how Ali taught the class made me appreciate yoga for the first time. I felt relaxed and excited to continue. The second half of the workshop was all writing, and I left with excellent notes and a possible young adult pilot idea for the future. We worked on character analysis and brainstorming. This workshop is the perfect reboot if you feel stuck in your creativity, not to mention you'll meet wonderful people.” -- Katy
