a daily rhythm to serve your creative spirit
the Retreat schedule
We endeavor to facilitate a predictable rhythm each day, with time to explore the nearby trails, rest in the reprieve of nature, write your heart out, or even visit the shops of the lakeside town of Sandpoint. We want you to have space, both to nurture yourself and your creativity, and also to connect to this writerly community we find ourselves in. And like most itineraries, sometimes we shuffle and shove things around a bit.

On Friday evening, we’ll be hosted by Matchwood Brewing for an Evening of Readings! At this event, which is open to the public for a ticketed price, we’ll have the opportunity to read our work to a room for eager listeners. All ticket sales go to our scholarship fund to support creatives!
The Saturday Workshop Series is open to additional participants. Each class is limited to 12 people. They will join us for breakfast and lunch. You are free to participate in any of the workshops as part of your weeklong retreat experience!
