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.

What Our Writers Say

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

Renee - Denver, CO

Ignite Her Creative Power 2026

"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"

Rin - Northern California

The Story Within Her, CA 2025

"I'm leaving with some great memories. There's so much community here, and I feel really inspired. I came in a little discombobulated and unsure of my next steps in my creative journey, and now I feel like I'm leaving with clear actions, fresh inspiration, and so much positivity. I'm just excited for what's next. Thank you, Once Upon a Script!"
