Writing Retreat 2010

With Gratitude we've seen our writing retreats grow over nearly twenty years now, and so, in response to many requests,
we've added a second local retreat this year. We'll gather in a large mountain cabin nestled amid many acres of forests &
rolling hills. A spacious common room with fireplace, comfortable dorms, two lofts, two kitchens, & two large bathrooms
with hot water showers (!!!) will be our community's home for the weekend.

We'll do some new writing experiments together - as well as work with symbols, images & archetypes deep within ourselves
& deep within folktales & stories from all over the world. We'll sing, hike, meditate & chant, eat great food, talk & laugh &
step easily off the edge into what we do not know. There will be ample opportunity for folks to read aloud, or listen as they like.

     The Retreat is OPEN TO BOTH EXPERIENCED & FIRST-TIME WRITERS ALIKE, & is uniquely designed to
accommodate both in an environment that is simultaneously safe & welcoming on one hand, & energetically stimulating &
challenging on the other. Includes all activities, comfortable housing & five delicious vegetarian meals.
