The Magic Women Create Together
Each retreat is a chapter in a much bigger story, the story of women choosing themselves, their art, and their growth. Here you’ll meet the women who said yes to their creativity and witnessed their voices deepen, their confidence expand, and their stories finally flow. Their testimonials aren’t just reviews; they’re reminders of what can happen when you show up for the woman you’re becoming.

A glimpse into the breakthroughs, connections, and magic that happen when women gather to write and support one another.

"This was such a wonderful experience. Once Upon a Script did a fantastic job this weekend. Every activity for me really lent itself to the next. It didn't take me long to feel comfortable with everyone there, and I was so happy to come back to Colorado with 7 new creative sisters. I can't wait to see everyone again"

"Participating in Once Upon A Script retreats (I've done 3!) has been incredible. I've made new friends and am grateful for not only the supportive and empowering network the experience provides, but the community building that lasts long after the retreat is over. That is GOLD. :)"

“I met so many wonderful, talented female writers, and we all bonded over the course of the retreat. Our mentor helped me understand things about my characters that I hadn’t even considered before coming here. I totally recommend it! If you’re thinking about joining a Once Upon a Script retreat, don’t even think twice — just come.”
