Behique Wellness® Writing Retreat
Behique Wellness® (a subsidiary of Writing Endeavors) is a curated writing retreat that combines wellness with writing. As a registered yoga instructor and reiki healer, Dr. Garland believes we should first ground ourselves in healthy practices. Writing will naturally flow as a result of a body and mind that are at peace.
This writing retreat is not a one-size-fits-all approach.
Prior to meeting in person, Dr. Garland will co-create a retreat experience with you and your group that is focused on one or more of the following:
-
rest
-
meditation
-
yoga
-
reiki (coming in December)
A Behique Wellness® writing retreat can take place wherever you and your group decide.
1
Rest + Write
The Rest + Write package is centered on the idea that “rest is resistance,” a term Tricia Hersey coined. Here, we co-create an experience where you and your group will enjoy different rest practices (i.e., mental, creative, emotional, etc.). For 3 days, you and your group will also participate in workshops that meet your individual writing needs. Lodging, breakfast, dinner, and light snacks will be provided.
Contact Dr. Garland to begin co-creating your rest + write experience.
2
Meditate + Write
The Meditate + Write package is centered on Raja Yoga, a philosophy outlined in The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali. Here, we co-create an experience where you and your group will practice different types of meditation (i.e., guided, candle gazing, body scan, etc.). For 3 days, you and your group will also participate in workshops that meet your individual writing needs. Lodging, breakfast, dinner, and light snacks will be provided.
Contact Dr. Garland to begin co-creating your meditate + write experience.

Yoga + Write
The Yoga + Write package is centered on the physical practice of yoga, called Hatha Yoga, a philosophy outlined in Hatha Yoga Pradipika. Here, we co-create an experience where you and your group will practice yoga poses and sequences designed for a specific purpose. Some examples include yoni yoga, chair yoga, and yin yoga. Yoga practices include breathwork and meditation. For 3 days, you and your group will also participate in workshops that meet your individual writing needs. Lodging, breakfast, dinner, and light snacks will be provided.
