WAT Writing Alone Together Retreat

WAT Writing Alone Together Retreat

Come join us at Highlights Foundation campus for a 3-night retreat. WAT (Writing Alone Together) is a zoom-room weekday morning writing group open to women and non-binary writers. There will be delicious, locally sourced meals, with snacks and beverages throughout the day. This retreat is low-key and unstructured, with ample time to connect as a group. Optional group activities, such as readings, yoga, and Q&A/craft sessions, will also be available. The Highlights Foundation campus has ample opportunities for walking, hiking, bird watching and gorgeous sunsets as the campus is surrounded by nature and farms. This setting is sure to ignite your creativity and inspire you well beyond the retreat experience.

You may check into your lodging anytime after 3pm on March 20. If you arrive prior to 3pm, you may enjoy the grounds and various work and gathering places around the facility as your room is being prepared. The first meal on campus will be appetizers at 5:30pm and dinner at 6:00pm. If you arrive late, we can save dinner for you.

Lunch on the final day of your stay is included, but we ask that you check out of your lodging by 11am. You are welcome to leave your packed bags by the door of your room/cabin while you enjoy lunch and say your goodbyes. Housekeeping may enter your room during this period to begin cleaning and prepping for our next guests. Thank you for your consideration.
