Cashman also hosts a writing workshop for the guests to help them explore their inner fiction writer. Guests are also invited to take part in cold plunges (\u201cit\u2019s uncomfortable, but a bonding experience when you all do it together,\u201d she says), as well as horseback riding<\/p>\n<p>She features workshops and classes led by top industry professionals.

Whether it\u2019s getting back to writing that novel you\u2019ve wanted to, or doing the painting you wanted to make, it\u2019s about just being inspired by life and its surroundings.

The retreats fund the YouthInk non-profit creative mentorship program and scholarships for teens aged 13 to 18, which Cashman hosts on a quarterly basis.

Dunne, and Mary O&#8217;Connor. \u201cIt&#8217;s about creating your own personal story, learning how to be a storyteller and expressing your true creative self.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.2rem; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Cambria, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 18px; font-variant-ligatures: common-ligatures;\">After doing their first pilot workshop at Kilkea Castle in 2021, Cashman realized the power of the creative workshop and wanted to offer it to adults. \u201cI thought adults would love this,\u201d she recalls. \u201cIt&#8217;s a 360-degree approach that comes full circle the moment you decide to care for yourself. As you help yourself, you help others.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.2rem; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Cambria, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 18px; font-variant-ligatures: common-ligatures;\">The dedicated time and space to be creative is key to Cashman who knows this firsthand. When she started writing her book in 2013, she attended several writing workshops to perfect her craft.<\/p>\n<p style=\"box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.2rem; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Cambria, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 18px; font-variant-ligatures: common-ligatures;\">\u201cIt had this feeling of a new beginning,\u201d she said. \u201cThe most important thing about writing is not only having the talent but carving the time out in your life. You must take the time. The only way I could express it was through these retreats.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/rcourihay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/960x0-3-2-768x1152.webp\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rcourihay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/960x0-3-2-768x1152.webp 768w, https:\/\/rcourihay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/960x0-3-2-200x300.webp 200w, https:\/\/rcourihay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/960x0-3-2-683x1024.webp 683w, https:\/\/rcourihay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/960x0-3-2.webp 960w\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"960\" \/><\/p>\n<figure style=\"box-sizing: inherit; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 1.2rem; break-inside: avoid; clear: both; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Cambria, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 18px; font-variant-ligatures: common-ligatures;\" role=\"presentation\"><figcaption style=\"box-sizing: inherit; color: #737373; font-family: 'Work Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 0.75rem; line-height: 1.67; margin-top: 0.5em;\">\n<p style=\"box-sizing: inherit; overflow: hidden; margin-right: 8px; height: 1em; display: inline;\" aria-expanded=\"false\">Christy Cashman<\/p>\n<p><small style=\"box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 10px; line-height: 2; text-transform: uppercase;\">\u00a0GEORGINA PRESTON<\/small><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The upcoming wellness retreat in Martha\u2019s Vineyard will feature a talk by Carly Simon\u2019s daughter, Sally Taylor, who runs an arts organization called\u00a0<a style=\"box-sizing: inherit; background-color: #ffffff; color: #003891; cursor: pointer; font-family: Georgia, Cambria, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 18px; font-variant-ligatures: common-ligatures;\" title=\"https:\/\/consenses.org\/about\/\" href=\"https:\/\/consenses.org\/about\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/consenses.org\/about\/\" aria-label=\"Consenses\">Consenses<\/a>, on how art by one person informs the art of another.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCreating art is scary, but it is so fulfilling,\u201d said Cashman. \u201cAttending a wellness-driven creative retreat is the perfect place to be still, to grow, and to reconnect with your inner creator.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As she prepares for her next retreat in Martha\u2019s Vineyard, Cashman will be featured at Canyon Ranch in Lenox on May 8 discussing mental health in\u00a0<em style=\"box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Cambria, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 18px; font-variant-ligatures: common-ligatures;\">The Truth About Horses<\/em>\u00a0along with Dr. Mark Kovacs.
