SPARKS FLY

Creative retreats led by inspiring teachers in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia

Explore Your Creativity and Start Writing in 2023


Happy 2023, the year you explore your creativity and finally start writing.

The start of a new year is the perfect time to look back and reflect, look ahead and assess, and to get past the blocks we create that prevent us from moving forward and fulfilling our creative dreams.

Are you considering exploring your creativity and expressing yourself in ways that feel daunting? Is it time to tackle the life story you’ve been putting off writing for years?

Make 2023 the year you find your creative voice and put pen to paper, the year you chose not to be intimidated and overcome your fears. Make 2023 the year you say YES! This year, SPARKS FLY retreats will host two workshops in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, that can help you do just that.  

SPARKS FLY retreats help you explore your creativity and start writing

Allegra Huston is hosting an Imaginative Storm Memoir Writing Workshop in May of 2023. Allegra’s approach emphasizes creating a nurturing, non-judgmental environment that will help you identify your story and overcome your fear of telling it.

If you think that everyone has a creative voice but you, Hester Schofield’s Creativity Training Workshop in October of 2023 is designed to help you find it. Each day of Hester’s workshop will focus on honing your senses, sharpening your observational skills, and getting past the doubts and blocks that we sabotage ourselves with.


If you’re still nervous about taking the plunge, Allegra Huston and James Navé have a book that will help you get started! Write What You Don’t Know: 10 Steps to Writing with Confidence, Energy, and Flow will spark your creativity, help you overcome your fear of putting ink to page, help you move forward creatively, and give you the courage to jump into either of our two SPARKS FLY workshops.
