This is a WRITING WEEKEND

Our writing retreat is not just another conference. It's a sanctuary from the daily grind, a haven from the distractions of home life. It's a unique opportunity to write alongside others who truly understand the creative struggle. Discover the joy and progress that can be achieved when you write in a supportive community.

Are you yearning to reconnect with your creative side? We understand that finding time to write can be a challenge, especially with life's many interruptions and stressors. Our retreat offers a stress-free environment where you can immerse yourself in your writing. It's a space of freedom, support, and unwavering encouragement, allowing you to breathe and focus on your craft.

This Retreat is for You If:

 ·       You are looking to revive neglected writing projects.

·       You want to feel inspired and confident with the creative energy of others in the room.

·       You are tired of writing in isolation without any support or inspiration.

·       You heard about social retreat writing and wondered what all the fuss is about.

 

No Pressure Writing Event

Write as much or as little as you want. No word or page count is required. First-time writers and experienced authors are welcome. Come as you are and write whatever you want at your own pace. There are opportunities to ask questions, learn, have fun, and get the words on the page, all in a non-judgmental environment that respects your creative process. Everyone at the retreat is here to cheer each other on while maintaining a focus on writing.

The focus of this WEEKEND is actually WRITING.

During the Weekend

  • Actually, enjoy your writing time.

  • Know that you're not alone; you’ll connect with others who face the same fears and barriers you do.

  • Make serious progress on your writing goals.

The writing room is open until 2 a.m. on Friday and Saturday nights. This doesn't mean we write every moment; we get to write as much as our hearts desire. It can be an all-out race to get the words on the page or a leisurely stroll. It's up to you. We'll do it with our writing friends nearby for encouragement.

Snacks, coffee, and water will energize you for this write fest. Lunch is included on Saturday. Breakfast is available for all hotel guests.  There is a full bar and restaurant outside the writing room doors should you need more.
