The September Farmhouse
Women’s Wellness &
Writing Retreat
Colrain, MA, September 24- 27, 2026
September has always felt like a natural turning point. The leaves just starting to turn. The light grows softer. The air begins to change. The apples are ripe.
This September, join us at a beautiful old farmhouse at the end of a dirt road in the hills of western Massachusetts. Enjoy three nights and four days of reflection, creativity, and restoration.
The cool nights and turning leaves always seem t The o stir my creative instincts. I find myself wanting to slip away and take stock— harvesting from my thoughts and ideas and writing about what comes next. Do you ever feel that way too?
You can come because you want time to write, or becasue you want time to pause for self-reflection, and use series of tools and practices to guide your way.
Often this kind of time recharges you in a way that you easily uncover whatever you want to bring to life next.
Come gather with a small group of women who value time in nature, quiet and meaningful conversation. Explore the stories inside and out. Engage in creative projects, walks in the woods and time to reflect on what matters.

You feel overextended and crave time to hear yourself think and dream.
You want to write, create, or reflect, but need the time and space to begin.

You appreciate being with thoughtful women who value reflection, creativity, nature, and a strong sense of place.
You want an option to do absolutely nothing — or everything — and feel deeply restored

A change you’d like to honor or a transition you’re moving through
A creative project, story, or idea seeking direction
A place, season, or memory that continues to hold meaning and you haven’t yet found the words for

The Experience
The weekend is intentionally spacious and each day has a rhythm of activities that are offered, and time to check in, be together or on your own.
Woven through the weekend are four core reflective and creative offerings, including guided writing sessions and creative practices that invite you to reflection and visioning. envision, explore, and discover what this season holds for you. You can use this time to explore what this season holds for you or to write in a beautiful place surrounded by good company.
Between sessions, you might spend time walking the trails, reading on the porch, soaking in the hot tub, journaling, birdwatching, stargazing, gathering around the campfire, or exploring nearby Shelburne Falls.

About Erica
Everything I’ve ever created comes from this same process: awareness, reflection, integration, and expression.
It starts with giving yourself the time to find your ideas, and follow them.
My retreats are designed to nourish your whole self — from wonderful food and company to a self-discovery process that reconnects you with who you are, where you are, and what matters most.
I’ve helped writers, creatives, educators, and seekers find their stories and deepen their sense of place.
From years of experience I know what it takes to bring an idea to life, and what it means to try and balance your work with the life you want to live. The journey I have curated for you will help you do just that.
