2008 ANNUAL
WRITING RETREAT & CAMPOUT
THE SECRET TELLS
ITSELF: WRITING AS A CONTEMPLATIVE ACT
With John Terlazzo
- September 5th, 6th & 7th (Friday through Sunday)
Poet & Songwriter John Terlazzo will once again lead The Secret Tells
Itself. We will be the guests of Steve & Molly March on their beautiful
Marbrook Farm in Southern York County. Bring your notebook & pen & join
us as we wander, write, whisper & wail beneath the September stars. As
in the past, we’ll do some new writing experiments together, swim, 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 their work aloud, or listen as they like.
As always, 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.
The price for this year's retreat is still
only $150 ($125 if registered by August 25th) &
includes all activities, camping Friday & Saturday
nights*, 3 delicious vegetarian meals on Saturday as well as breakfast & lunch on
Sunday.
*For
those who’d prefer not to camp on the ground, there are a limited
number of comfortable rooms available
at the farm’s Bed & Breakfast (this at an
additional cost payable to the owners).
