If you aren’t familiar with the different modes of writing you’ll engage in when on the retreat, check out the About the Program page on summerwritingretreat.com for more information.
I hope the program descriptions hook you, and that you’re eager to try out an innovative approach to invigorate your project, whether you are interested in publishing your writing or not. Part of the writing project for the retreat is writing down and committing to your life goals, which you probably will not seek to publish but will certainly influence your level of fulfillment at the retreat and afterward.
You might see this as a hybrid retreats, in that it balances creative writing and wellness as mutually beneficial. If you are familiar with more traditionally-styled retreats or writing workshops, you might be surprised at how ours are put together. They are set up to work the middle ground common to all people regardless of occupation or pursuit. That middle ground pertains to the level of fulfillment you get from the activities you engage in and how they direct you toward your outcome or project. These aren’t like the workshop-style retreat where you basically go to a classroom and sit down with the author. There will be plenty of one-on-one time and plenty of cross-pollination between participants on their creative projects as well as their dreams, but no classroom time. Our retreats are designed to help people get and stay inspired and excited as artists and as individuals. The retreats model exactly what has worked for me in the past and utilize strategies that apply to a wide range of people. I hope to see you there!
