“I had not written anything in a long time. The Writers’ Retreat gave me the space, time, and inward focus to let creativity happen naturally. I hadn’t realized how much I had to say. The meditation aspect of the retreat provided a peaceful structure where writing could be a pleasure once again instead of work. Susan led each day with a purposeful blend of meditation practice and writing sessions and I appreciated the fruits that came from a firm but generous schedule.” –A.B., Boston

What do writers want more than anything in the world? Time to write. Yet even if such precious time could be found, it’s not always easy to settle into the writing groove.

Get away to Karme Choling, a beautiful Buddhist retreat center in Vermont’s Northeast Kingdom and spend five full days on writing and your own unique voice.

In addition to plenty of personal writing time, quiet, and the supportive (but non-intrusive!) presence of other writers, the program will include daily meditation practice and simple creativity exercises. Although the focus will be on individual work, there will be opportunities for moderated discussion of each other’s writing.

Open to writers of fiction and non-fiction, published and unpublished. Bring your ideas, works-in-progress, or simply your wish to devote attention to your creativity.

No meditation experience required. Instruction will be offered.
