Memoir Writing: Reflect, Recharge and Write!

By gathering in a supportive community, we make breakthroughs in our daily life and in our writing. All writers are welcome! Life writing, memoir, and creative nonfiction are genres that interest thousands of people, and each person's story is unique and each writing approach is different. This retreat offers a combination of daily workshops, discussions, brief writing assignments and a quiet space to focus on your work free of distraction. 

The mornings are for writing workshops; afternoons are free to read, relax by the pool, write, and explore the idyllic surroundings. Weather permitting, in the evenings we can watch the sunset over the Hudson while sharing writing in progress.

The fee includes a private room, all meals and all workshops. 

Presenter: Magie Dominic
