Plants as Portals: An Immersive Writing Retreat
May 15–16, 2027 | Hudson, New York
Saturday, 10 AM – Sunday, 4 PM
Join me in beautiful Hudson NY as we step away from the noise of everyday life and enter a space where creativity can flourish and the natural world becomes our muse.
Through guided plant meditations, herbal elixirs, intuitive writing exercises, storytelling, and time spent connecting with yourself, the Earth, and each other, we’ll explore what becomes possible when we allow the plants to guide our pens.
Together we will free your voice, awaken your imagination, and trust the stories that want to move through you.
Space will be limited to create an intimate and nurturing experience.
The plants have stories to tell. And so do you.
The plants have stories to tell. And so do you.
Join herbalist, storyteller, and author Robin Rose Bennett for an intimate, two-day writing retreat devoted to creativity, imagination, and the wisdom of the green world.
What Awaits You…

Intuitive Writing Practices: Move beyond the inner critic and allow words, images, and stories to emerge naturally.
Herbal Rituals & Elixirs: Engage your senses and connect with the magic and medicine of plants through intentional herbal experiences.
Storytelling & Sacred Sharing: Gather in a supportive circle where our individual stories become part of a larger tapestry.
Time for Reflection & Connection: Slow down, listen deeply, and rediscover the joy of creating in relationship with the natural world.

Nestled in the magical Hudson Valley, we’ll gather for two days of plant magic, creative discovery, and meaningful connection.

No writing experience is necessary.
You will leave with new writing, fresh inspiration, a deeper relationship with the plants, and perhaps a few surprising stories you didn’t know were living inside you. All you need is curiosity, an open heart, and a willingness to listen.
The plants are calling. What stories will you discover when you answer?
