Please Note:

-After the preorder period (through August 2026), the price for only the workshop recording will increase. Early pitch access is only for this pre-order package, so quantities of this option are limited.

-This first print run (and possibly other early printings) will only be available for purchase via takemoreretreats.com. We have plans to make the book available more broadly from other bookshops but we’re starting a new small press (Thoughtful Books Etc. under Charlotte Donlon Writer LLC) so we’re taking it slow and steady.

-Because a recording will be available to all registered participants, we are unable to provide refunds for this gathering and offering.

-Everyone who places an order consents to be added to our Take More Retreats and Charlotte Donlon email newsletters

-If using a discount code, only one code can be used per purchase, per person.
