Retreat
About
The Writing Retreat is a program designed to bring together writers to work in community, and to carve out time and space to focus on their creative work.
The program is held in the summer or fall of each year (with alternating years), and will offer craft talks, generative sessions, and one-on-ones with faculty speakers. The retreat will also include readings and facilitated conversations.
Please note: the retreat is currently under assessment, and an update will be posted soon. If you’re interested to attend the Retreat in Italy, please submit your name via the Form of Interest below.
