Life Writing Retreat

Join Creativity Coach and Writer, Michele Lussky, MA, for a four days and three nights of unpacking your life's events and reflecting on your life's meaning. This is not just a writing retreat, you be transformed.

Michele will lead us in her special process of "journey writing", as well as labyrinth walks, meditation and (optional) gentle yoga. We will laugh, rest, reflect--and become powerful creators in every sense of the word.

There will be plenty of "down-time" to show yourself compassion and let your creative juices flow in the peaceful setting of the historic inn.  Feel free to wander the 146 acres of woodland trails, rolling meadows, and wetlands. Take time to write, create, or read in the library. Visit the peaceful "meditation loft" to pray, dream, meditate, or practice yoga. Sit by the fire and chat with other gentle souls.  This is your time to heal, restore, transform and connect.
