Winter Writing Retreat for Women- Jan. 16-19

New Year - New Words!
Start the new year off with time spent with your words and the company of other writers.

I've been invited to lead a women's writing retreat at The Lake House in Erskine, MN. Using the frozen lake as inspiration, we will look beneath the surface to begin new work, continue works-in-progress, gather and give feedback on writing -- yours and others.

Our weekend:
Friday, Jan. 16 - Gather at 7 pm for introductions, a glass or cuppa, and light refreshment. We will set our intentions for the weekend as we get to know one another. (You may arrive as early as 6 pm)

Please note: Everything is optional. This is your writing retreat! If you want to opt out of any activity, that's your choice. Skip morning pages and sleep in? Go for it! However, it is recommended you attend as much as possible because it adds to group cohesiveness. As people get to know one another, they are more comfortable sharing their words and their feedback.
