Theme: FINISH WHAT YOU STARTED!
This women's retreat will focus on finishing/rewriting pieces already in process, rather than focusing on generating new writing.

This retreat will offer optional yoga, hiking, massage and lots of writing. 3 nights, 3 days. Includes all meals except one dinner out, use of facilities (pool, tennis, hiking) and 5 writing classes.
Space is limited! $575 for private room.
