Since 1970 the Center has been open to people of all faiths and spiritual backgrounds who return to Santa Sabina again and again for its spirit of welcome and its dedication to a "contemplative way of being".

 


From the quiet of Santa Sabina's inner courtyard garden and adjoining chapel, the spirit of tranquility and simplicity permeates the Center.

 
 

A ROOM OF YOUR OWN (AROYO)

If you’re like me, you love the act of writing beyond measure. But your life is packed to the gills with work, children, household needs, a thousand things.


IMAGINE HAVING THREE DAYS & NIGHTS DEVOTED TO NOTHING BUT YOUR OWN WRITING?

Ripe Fruit Writing wants to give you this opportunity.

A ROOM OF YOUR OWN is a working writer’s retreat --- you might want to think of it as a writing vacation!

You bring the manuscript, the draft, the ideas. We give you the time and the space: the uninterrupted quiet, the privacy of your own room. We give you guidance, focus and momentum. You give each other the best of all gifts: feedback, literary companionship, & mutual support.

At peaceful Santa Sabina in San Rafael, Each writer will have their own room with a desk, bed, sink, closet, reading chair and view of either the courtyard or deerpark.. It is a writer’s dream!
Nothing to do but write. Mornings are for writing. Afternoons are for writing ( or taking country walks). Evenings are for writing (or reading and sharing each other’s work in the gorgeous Pillow Room, discussions about editing & publishing, etc).

Write all night if you like!
