You are warmly invited to our fourth soulful writing retreat for those who long to reconnect with their muse and nourish the writer within. Whether you’re a seasoned author looking for fresh portals to access the spark of your inspiration, or someone seeking a space to connect with the landscapes of your imagination through writing, we invite you into this sacred sanctuary of creativity.
Surrounded by the tranquil beauty of Westwood Lake, you’ll be guided through transformative writing practices, rituals, myth, and nature-based contemplations that connect you to the power of your unique (non-AI) writing voice.
With Bethlehem Centre's restful accommodations, delicious food, and the opportunity for both indoor and outdoor writing, you'll leave the retreat feeling rejuvenated, deeply inspired, and profoundly connected to your creative essence. You will head home with a toolkit to sustain your creative fire.
