Marrakech, Morocco
Philoxenia Creative Writing Retreat: Writing as a Catalyst for Community
Join three esteemed authors in a series of generative creative writing workshops that explore how we can leverage writing to create strong community bonds. Alongside writing workshops, we'll cover everything that encompasses literary critiques and we'll delve into the true life of a writer and how to cultivate habits, practices, and mindsets that enable you to produce your best work. This five day retreat will be held on the grounds of the renowned Jnane Tamsna resort in the lush date palm forest of Marrakech. The workshops will be complemented by cultural activities, including private tours of the city’s majestic medina and sojourns to secret gardens and the Atlas Mountains. This will be a space to discover, create, reflect, and develop relationships with people across borders, cultures, and backgrounds. Learn more and buy tickets at www.philoxeniaexperiences.com

Hotel June WEST LA
Escape In | Parea Books, Hotel June, and Bomb Vinho
When you hear the word "escape", you likely think of escaping to a pool, sandy beach, or a warm tropical island. As fun as it is to escape somewhere, it’s also invigorating to spend time introspecting, reflecting, and escaping “in” yourself. We're bringing you cozy evenings of reading, journaling, writing and intimate dinners with your closest friends.
Parea Books partnered with Hotel June WEST LA and Bomb Vinho to curate meaningful experiences for you and your friends. Inspired and based on Jenna Matecki's personal and insightful writing in The Hours Before Dusk, we have designed 4 creative events hosted on Hotel June WEST LA grounds.

Guests receive a copy of the title by author Jenna Matecki who puts words to the familiar feelings of nostalgia, curiosity, turning strangers into friends, and falling in love: for a moment, with a feeling, with a place, with the right person at the perfect time. The Hours Before Dusk is a hybrid narrative that challenges readers to find feelings of peace and joy in the everyday and to sharpen their curiosity for the world through evocative stories and poetry.
