Writing From Family History Retreat
July 18th 10am to 4pm
Do you have a stash of old family letters or documents, scrapbooks, an antique with a story, or even a unique family story you’ve been meaning to write? Get them organized and come to this day-long retreat at Rock Point Center to make a start on your piece whether it’s a poem, novel, memoir or something else.
The retreat will include:
Time for sharing with the group
Time for writing
Time for silent meditation and walking the lakeside trails (swimming in the lake, too, if you like!)
Delicious lunch by local caterer Sugar Snap (If you have food allergies/requirements, please email Sam right away.)
More time for writing!
