What to Expect at our Retreats

We’ll start with a meet and greet, including a summary of what you’re working on and/or your writing goals. Our Retreat Host will help you settle into a quiet writing spot at the lodge to spend the rest of the day. Writers will meet again for a potluck lunch to share ideas on craft and troubleshoot projects. All writers any stage of their writing journey are welcome.
