WRITING THE WAVE is obsessed with writing’s ability to intentionally transform lives.
Modern culture has connected us more than ever before, and yet, we’ve never been so disconnected from our own narratives. In these times of endless connectivity, we’ve lost touch with the stories that make us who we are.
WRITING THE WAVE is here to change that, offering tools for a life more deliberately lived through writing. We bring more intentionality and curiosity into our lives through the power of writing.
We break down barriers about what writing should look like, and we introduce new ideas about what writing practices can look like. Through this expansive lens, we foster shared space of accountability, creativity, openness and reflection.
Our 3 tiers of writing experiences enable writing to become an integral part of your life. In these spaces, we’re not just writers — we’re thinkers, dreamers, and doers.
EVENTS | CHALLENGES | RETREATS
We host bespoke writing-led experiences around the world that prompt clarity, connection, and meaningful action.
These aren’t just for writers - they’re for builders, creatives, entrepreneurs, and curious, growth-minded people looking to explore their sharpest ideas through the written word.
→ BI-WEEKLY
In 2024 + 2025, we’ve hosted 60+ bi-weekly writing meetups in San Francisco and 10 in New York, often partnering with aligned brands + communities. These gatherings have become anchor points for people looking to think more clearly, create consistently, + find their people.
→ MONTHLY
We design digital + IRL writing experiences that bring people together in different capacities - collaborative sessions, prompts, challenges, and writing-led community experiments.
→ ANNUALLY
Each year, Writing the Wave will host immersive Writing x Creative Health retreats. They’ll be intentional, off-grid containers built for deep focus. These retreats prioritize:
disconnecting from tech
reconnecting with yourself + others
returning to the written word as a guide
aligning + actualizing each creator’s most vivid vision
Our goal is to curate environments + groups that unlock your clearest thinking and catalyze the next chapter of your creative life.
“You must live in the present, launch yourself on every wave, find your eternity in each moment."- Henry David ThoreauWRITING THE WAVE extends beyond the screen. Our meet-ups help you step away from the noise and into the version of yourself that sees every story you’re meant to write, share, + use to force-multiply your projects.
Three pillars that underpin
WRITING THE WAVE:
CURIOUS
Curiosity is about turning the lens inward. It’s about exploring the depths of our own experiences through writing. At WRITING THE WAVE, we are driven by a desire to better understand ourselves and our place in the world.
We provide spaces where curiosity leads to self-discovery, where the act of writing becomes a journey of exploring one’s inner waves and unearthing the rich stories and wisdom that lies within.
INTENTIONAL
We admire individuals who see their notebooks and digital worlds as sacred spaces to explore their thoughts, emotions, and wildest dreams. By being intentional with every life touchpoint, we live with more awareness and consideration in everything we do and every person we meet.
Intentionality shows up in the small details of our Writing challenges, live events, and retreats.
GROWTH MINDED
We embrace the idea that every challenge is an opportunity to learn and improve. We use writing as a means to metabolize experiences, overcome challenges, celebrate triumphs, and plan ahead strategically.
We don’t measure this growth with accolades. We measure growth by personal breakthroughs, increased self understanding, and the courage to express our truest, highest self.
