Weekend Writing Retreat
"an organic unfolding of community and conversation"
​
Our 2026 retreat was intense, productive, and enjoyable, and we are already planning our 2027 retreat!
A Weekend Writing Retreat with Deborah and Amanda is a joyous time
of conversation, writing and sharing, designed to nurture and support any writer
at any stage of their writing life. Email us here to get on our mailing list to keep current with our plans.
Listen to an interview with Liz, a happy participant from our founding retreat, here.
Life Writing:

memoir, auto fiction
“Thank you for the inspiration,
suggestions and the welcoming space
to relax and invite creativity
back into my being.”
​
“Getting to hear others’ writing and to witness their obstacles and breakthroughs was fascinating and inspiring.”
​
“I love that there are so many little spots to retreat to and do solitary work. And the yard! I love to be outside.”
Commit. Work. Produce
“The personalized suggestions you offered on Sunday morning were very generous. I appreciate your care and thoughtfulness and it made me feel seen and well looked after.”
​
“I liked the conversations we had as a group ... and appreciated the safe space that was created allowing for people to, in some cases, go to some painful places. There was trust, respect and empathy in that room. There was also humour, which I very much appreciated. Some funny stories, good laughs.”
