Description
What stories do your body and soul long to tell? How might words help you connect with yourself, with nature, with other people, and with the sacred or divine?
This day of retreat is an opportunity to wonder with words through writing. It will include time for solitary writing, conversation with fellow writers, prompts and self-guided activities to inspire your creativity, and time to enjoy nature at The Trees. This writing retreat is for anyone who wants to write, whether in a specific genre or as a spiritual or meditative practice, whether you are just getting started or a seasoned author.
Things to Know
A simple salad lunch will be served. Please include any dietary restrictions in your registration.
