Writing Retreat: Light Your Creative Fires
Please note: This retreat is full. You can get on the early bird list for next season’s retreats right here.
Do you have a project you can’t find time for? Is the noise of the city distracting you from creative nourishment? Do you feel a familiar longing to reconnect to your writing voice before the autumn sweeps in and takes over?
Here’s how it works:
This is a retreat for folks with big ideas and little time to see them through. We’ll gather at a beautiful home on the north end of Georgian Bay less than 3 hours from the city to write deeply while the seagulls caw and the waves lap on the dock. Over the course of the weekend, we’ll create a warm and supportive mini-community to let go of our city stresses and go deep with our writing goals. Our time will be a mix of workshops, group meals, free time, and long silent writing periods. Come to breathe, nap, swim, connect, focus and produce.
We’ll have two facilitators at this retreat—Chris and Britt—to make sure everyone gets lots of personal attention.

This retreat is ideal for people who:
~ Are aching to go deeper with their writing yet struggle with the distractions of everyday life.
~ Love the quite power of huge bodies of water.
~ Have a writing project on the go, or at least an idea for one that needs some coaxing.
~ Love receiving and providing supportive, thoughtful feedback on writing.
~ Appreciate communal atmospheres and feel drawn to forming community.
This retreat isn’t for people who:
~ Might prefer to go to a spa. This retreat will involve focused writing and lots of introspection, as well as helping out with details like meal-prep.
~ Are working on a writing project they don’t truly want to be. This retreat is built on the love of words.
~ Are looking for a critical writing environment, or for someone to tell them how to write.
