Start the New Year with a Deep Dive into Your Writing
Join a small, welcoming, and supportive community of writers for a personalized writing retreat at one of West Virginia’s most beautiful State Parks. Writers will stay in the historic cabins of Lost River State Park, a little over 2 hours outside of DC.
Writers of all experience levels and projects are welcome. This retreat will provide a perfect opportunity for those who have been wanting to dive into that book project, collection, essay, family history, or script.
Retreat includes a one-on-one consultation with award winning writer, Dr. Michelle LaFrance. Michelle has taught writing, coached writers, and facilitated writing communities for over 20 years.
Registration fee includes a private room in an updated cabin, morning movement/yoga sessions, a Saturday evening reading of your work (in Wardensville, WV), and all meals.
Initial Deposit: $187.50; Remainder of payment due upon or before arrival
