Curated Experiences in Extraordinary Places.
Intimate, bespoke retreats with Lisa-Marie Cabrelli
PhD Creative Writing • 7 Published Novels • 7-Figure Entrepreneur
You know those conversations that need more than 90 minutes? Where you're just getting to the real question when time runs out? Where you need space to think without your regular life interrupting every five minutes?
That's why we go away together.
Either just the two of us, or in a small curated group of up to 3 women. Beautiful places where you can actually hear yourself think. Deep conversations that shift something. Space to figure out what you want without explaining yourself to anyone back home.
Whether you're outlining your novel or designing your next chapter, these aren't vacations with workshops on the side. They're serious creative work in places that make big thinking inevitable.

Nassau, The Bahamas - Salon Intensive
Deep Conversation in ParadiseFour days at my waterfront home with 2 other accomplished women. This is the salon experience extended. The kind of transformation that only happens when you're fully present, beautifully hosted, and surrounded by people who get it.
All meals and accommodation included. Between intensive sessions, you're steps from the water with space to let insights settle.
Currently curating the perfect group. Add your name to be considered.
