A Lab for Writers

Analysis Retreats

Immerse yourself in the Story Code™ experience

A one-day retreat involves a one-night, one-day stay with catered meals. The day includes up to four hours of workshopping your text, plus writing time, and an hour learning about the Story Code™ System. Other activities, such as hiking or a cultural event can be included, if desired.

A two-day retreat involves a two-night, two-day stay with catered meals. The retreat will include eight hours of workshopping your text, not including built-in writing and revision time, two hours learning about the Story Code™ System, and other activities, as desired.

Both retreats are for one author, or cost and time could be split between two authors with a $.10/word additional fee for the second text. Two licensed analysts will attend.

Our locations are:

Yellowstone Lodge in Sundance, Utah.

In the heart of the Utah mountains, we rent a variety of mountain cabins, such as the Yellowstone Lodge, located at the Sundance Ski Resort, which offers year-round outdoor activities and entertainment.

The Story Nest in Jonesborough, Tennessee

Our 1950’s bungalow is four blocks from historic Main Street in the oldest town in Tennessee. Home of the International Storytelling Center, Jonesborough was the site of the storytelling revival in the 70’s and is still hosting the National Storytelling Festival every October. (No retreats that week, as we’ll be listening to stories!)

Jonesborough is also nested in the heart of the Appalachian Highlands with easy access to the Appalachian Trail.

The Sky’s the Limit!

We can rent a VRBO or Air BnB in the location of your choice.

Ignite Story Lab also plans group retreats. Please contact them for more information on how we can plan a retreat designed just for your group.
