Some places in the world have a way of stopping you in your tracks, and Cordova, Alaska is the perfect opportunity to unravel your talent for storytelling and writing. For six days and five nights, join Cheryl Strayed exploring, feasting, relaxing, and writing in the wilderness of a tiny, road-free fishing town on the edge of the breathtaking Prince William Sound.

You will be staying at the oceanfront Orca Adventure Lodge surrounded by ethereal water views, a wood-fired sauna, kayaking from shore, and a cozy coffee shop. With nearly 24 hours of daylight in the Alaskan summer, there’s time for everything, from writing sessions with Cheryl to sharing long, unhurried dinners with new friends overlooking the ocean. This retreat offers something rare: the space to slow down, create, and connect with like-minded people from around the world in one of the most unique corners of the earth.

why rooh recommends attending

There’s something about Cheryl Strayed’s writing that feels like a deep breath of fresh air. She writes about the hard stuff, such as grief, loss, and starting over, with so much honesty and warmth that you finish her books feeling less alone no matter what your situation is. Wild is the kind of story that stays with you, while Tiny Beautiful Things offers new perspectives on concepts we think we already understand. To us, the idea of spending time with her in Alaska is a perfect next step from reading her work to practicing it. There’s something about being detached from everyday life, surrounded by glaciers and open sky and actual wilderness, that creates the perfect atmosphere for real reflection. The kind of thinking and feeling you just can’t access when you’re answering emails and running errands. We hope that you join us in striving for a better version of ourselves with Cheryl!
