Northwest Passages with Sue Aikens
In celebration of Sue Aikens’ new book, North of Ordinary: How One Woman Left it all Behind for Wilderness and Wonder in Alaska's Frozen Frontier, Ammi will be joining Northwest Passages to lead a conversation with Sue and learn more about her incredible story.
Sue Aikens, the breakout star of National Geographic's Emmy award winning, long-running TV show Life Below Zero, (2013-2025) shares her journey of survival 200 miles north of the Arctic Circle, battling isolation, bears, and personal demons. In her new memoir, she brings us back to the start of this remarkable life journey.
From Soul to Sea, Greece Writing Retreat
Hosted by Wide Open Writing, our retreats focus on Living Your Creative Life. With daily morning yoga, two writing workshops per day, one-on-one sessions, and a fabulous evening salon, we offer a space that breeds creativity and transformation. We also recommend and leave time for walks, shoreline wanderings, naps, sunrises, sunsets, laughter, and nourishment of body and soul. We encourage a widening of the gap between these moments and the ones we’ve temporarily disengaged from (grocery shopping, phone calls, dental appointments, laundry), and that you sink into the experience of reconnecting with your senses and your writing.
Wintering: A writer's retreat into self
Sequestered away at an expansive ranch in northern Montana, this week-long writing retreat will dive into themes of hibernation, nature, and the creative nourishment that can be found deep beneath the layers of our every day lives.

Wholehearted Uncertainty
In this two-day workshop, you will be guided through a series of writing and improvisation activities to unfold the wonders of uncertainty and thriving in the creative unknown.
Using play, collaboration, courage, self-compassion, discussion, joy, discovery, community, surprise, insight, words, and wordlessness, we will sally into untapped potential. We aim to reduce limiting beliefs, procrastination, self-judgment, and resistance to whole-hearted creativity.
