Want to hear a fun story?

 

We (Jane and Joy) met through Lighthouse Writers Workshop in Denver, where we teach creative writing. Jane’s a musician; Joy’s an author and poet. But we also share something else in common: Jane’s a private practice social worker, Joy’s background is in counseling and writing therapy. Two artsy therapists. The best kind of trouble.

​

We both like strong margaritas. Soaking in hot springs. Talking about music with our husbands, who get along famously. During happy hour one day, we discovered yet another connection: neither of us like women’s retreats. At all. Then Jane said, “Hey! Why don’t we create our own retreat—one we’d like to attend?”

​

That’s how Replenish was born. We soon added creative workshops and coaching to the mix, as well as yet another aspect: wellness—which came in the form of Gina, Joy’s longtime friend.

​

Gina’s an anthropologist and international expert on hydration; co-author of Quench and founder of the Hydration Foundation. She’s also a literary writer who nourishes creativity in others (check out her book The Art of Family: Rituals, Imagination, and Everyday Spirituality).

​

Well. Joy talked to Gina who talked to Jane. We clicked. In fact, a whole bunch of things we like clicked, so we folded them into Replenish:

​

Wellness. Creativity. Writing. Music. Wonderful food. Spirituality. Soul care. Fun. A green planet. Hydration. Water: hot springs, rivers, oceans. Hiking. Travel. Caring for others. Giving back to our communities.

​

Replenish offers in-person and online retreats; creativity, writing, and wellness workshops and coaching.

 

Come be replenished.
