Immersive Screenwriting Retreat
FADE IN:
EXT. TULUM JUNGLE RETREAT – DAY
A group of WOMEN WRITERS step into a world of lush jungle, warm sunlight, and turquoise water. Palm leaves sway overhead as the Caribbean breeze moves softly through the trees.
Here, they write. They reset. They reconnect with themselves, their creativity, and one another.
THE SETTING
From the turquoise cenotes hidden beneath the jungle to the white-sand beaches of the Caribbean, Tulum has long been a place people come to reset, reconnect, and feel inspired. Now, it’s your turn.
Step away from the noise of everyday life and immerse yourself in creativity. Surrounded by tropical nature, warm air, and a slower rhythm, you’ll have the space to dream, write, and give your story the attention it deserves.
Tucked into the lush landscape of Tulum awaits a peaceful retreat designed for rest and creative focus. With private rooms, a pool, yoga, temazcal, Wi-Fi, and plenty of quiet corners to write, you can shape your days around your own creative rhythm. Mornings begin with breakfast and intention. Afternoons are yours for writing, relaxing by the pool, or adding an excursion. Evenings bring dinner, conversation, and connection beneath the tropical sky.
This is where you’ll leave behind distractions, make meaningful progress on your story, and enjoy the freedom of having nowhere else you need to be. Come to Tulum with an idea, a draft, or a story you can’t stop thinking about. Leave with pages, momentum, and a renewed connection to your creativity. ✨

Organizer and Co-Writer
Mariannjely Marval
I’m the founder of Once Upon a Script, a produced Latina screenwriter fueled by story, soul, and an insatiable love for the world. Travel has always been a source of inspiration for me, each new place opening the door to deeper, more resonant stories.
I write to honor the immigrant experience, amplify women’s voices, and explore the quiet strength of resilience. For me, storytelling is both refuge and resistance, a way to connect, to heal, and to leave something meaningful behind.
More than anything, I created this write-cation so you never feel like you’re doing this alone. I’ll be right there with you, writing, exploring, and holding space for your creativity to unfold.
We’re here to build community, support one another, and create bold, beautiful work together. ✨
Why Tulum.
In Tulum, the jungle meets the Caribbean, cenotes hide beneath the trees, and the rhythm of everyday life naturally begins to slow.
There’s something about being surrounded by warm air, turquoise water, and lush nature that invites you to disconnect from the noise, reconnect with yourself, and create from a different place.
This is your invitation to escape to Tulum, settle into a slower rhythm, and let your creativity flow.
