Why It’s Worth It 



Dear curious creative soul Sara,

What is your writing dream? I endlessly love asking this question.

Most people I ask muse about their age and mention something about how it was "too late" for his dream.

Did you know our dreams never leave us- we leave them for various reasons, and sometimes put them away entirely.
Meanwhile, the dream waits. Sometimes dreams want to be revised, edited, or reawakened. And in every case, dreams benefit from being shared.

Making writing dreams REAL involves intention, commitment and focus, along with resiliency, humor and hope, and a dash of outrageousness. And, you will encounter every kind of fear and obstacle too. How you choose to relate to the blend of emotions about your writing dream- and keep going, is your great opportunity.

Why attend SARK's Wildly Inspiring Writer's ReTREAT? It's more than just a retreat; it's an investment in your future as a writer.

Your Writing Legacy: A Retreat Inspired by Dr. Maya Angelou




Dear indelible life loving creator Sara,

Years ago, I met the legendary Dr. Maya Angellou at age 16 and she gifted me worlds that were an ignition switch towards my path as an author, leading to the creation of Succulent Wild Woman.

This is a photo of me at age 40, in the Bahamas - 2 years before I published this book at age 42. Then, I kept publishing a book each year for many years. This image captures a moment of reflection and the cusp of a creative explosion that would ultimately define my career as an author.

This was AFTER procrastinating for 25 years, having written my first book at age 10, and then publishing my first book at age 35..

Many years later I asked Maya to endorse this book, and she enthusiastically said yes. After I'd gotten to know her personally, she said to me in her magnificent booming voice;
"SARK books are cross generational, like mine are, and they must continue to serve succulence to all the generations."
And so they do

This is what writing and sharing our words and stories can do- lift and illuminate another's life. I love writing and sharing the spirit of SARK and continue to be inspired by Maya in all ways.

You cannot know the effect your story might have. Did you know once you share it, it can travel without you and affect other lives?


You're Invited: SARK's Wildly Inspiring Writers' ReTREAT
When: May 17th- May 19th, 2024
Where: Berkeley, California

You may know that I teach and mentor about what's REAL in our writing lives. I'm often impatient, frequently crabby and have thankfully graduated from being a procrastinator, and am still often being a part time perfectionist. All of these "splendidly human" moments do not prevent me from writing- they propel me.

  • Intimacy & Impact: With attendance capped at just 100 people, expect an intimate gathering where every voice is heard, and every story matters.
  • Transformative Learning: Dive deep into a program distilled from decades of writing, publishing, and living creatively. This retreat is designed to turn your writing dreams into tangible realities. 
  • Special Guests: Connect with notable figures in the writing and publishing industry, ready to share their invaluable wisdom and insights.

This retreat will not be a normal experience- it's going to be a bright resonant hot air balloon for you to WRITE MORE and DIFFERENTLY and RECEIVE RESULTS.

I will teach you my propelling ways, which are steeped in decades of mistakes and of mighty successes, and everywhere in between- I call it the marvelous messy middle- and it's where I live and write.





P.S. This isn't just about writing; it's about transforming how you see yourself and your story. Let's make magic together. Sign up now.These spots WILL sell out.
