Costa Rica Screenwriting Retreat
With Award Winning Screenwriter Jacob Krueger
Samara Beach, Costa Rica
5 - 20 DAY RETREATS: June 19-July 8
HAVE YOU EVER DREAMED OF A WRITING GETAWAY?
Ever longed to escape to a place where the only thing that mattered was your writing? Ever imagined yourself in a writer’s paradise where creativity flowed naturally and beauty was all around you?
Then come join me for a life changing retreat of writing, creative exploration and meditation in tranquil Costa Rica.
THE RETREAT
Begin your writing day with a yoga session on a hilltop pavilion overlooking the ocean. Enjoy a home-made breakfast, and then find your perfect writing spot: an outdoor writing lounge, a cozy couch, a secluded hammock, or the comfort of your own room for a day spent with your writing.
Throughout your day, enjoy opportunities for screenwriting lectures, discussions, readings of student work and feedback sessions with your fellow students, or just escape from it all and be alone with your thoughts on the hidden white-sand beach only steps from the hotel.
When your work is done, cool off with a dip in the fabulous pool or a walk in the forest, and then join your fellow students for a home cooked dinner, chat about your writing and share your experiences.
Each night, we’ll have movies under the stars, projected on a huge screen, as well as discussions, seven-act structure breakdowns, and special surprises designed to capture the spirit of Costa Rica and put you in touch with your creativity.
THE HOTEL
Nestled between a protected mangrove forest and the hidden white sands of Buena Vista beach, and reserved exclusively for the use of our students, our hotel is the perfect creative paradise.
Its gorgeous air-conditioned rooms and bungalows are tucked away within its lush tropical grounds, complete with indoor and outdoor writing nooks, ping pong, pool, and fusbol tables, and some of the most innovative architectural design in all of Costa Rica.
Creatively inspired and designed by its owners, former airline pilot, Guido, and his wife Anke, the hotel also offers a once in a lifetime way to experience the beauty of Costa Rica, with its own airstrip, and a small fleet of gyro-copters. Schedule an optional gyro-copter tour with Guido, and experience the majesty of Costa Rica from the sky.
EXCURSIONS AND EXPLORATIONS
Take a zip-line canopy tour of the Costa Rican rain forest. Visit the nearby turtle sanctuary and watch the giant sea turtles lay their eggs on the beach. Ride horseback through the forest or along the coast.
Ride a bike through the local villages. Snorkel along the coral reef. Enjoy local music and freshly caught fish around a bonfire at the beach. Or just take a long walk alone on the white sand. You’re staying in one of the most breathtaking places in the world, where creativity and natural beauty are omnipresent.
For the group, we’ll be offering several optional tours at discounted rates. The hotel owners, Guido and Anke, are a fountain of knowledge and can also help you book your own tours so you can experience Costa Rica in your own way.
