The Retreat

  • The Emphasis at this retreat is inspiration: both to generate new material for upcoming projects and to offer insights and energize projects already in process.

  • The Days will be structured with mornings of uninterrupted time for writing, thinking, walking or dreaming. Each afternoon will offer a generative workshop to spark your intuition and to engage in creative play, with specific writing prompts to lead you towards sometimes mysterious, sometimes unexpected, but always timely new directions.

  • The Evenings will include informal social events—a salon, a café, and a group tarot reading, and other impromptu happenings that will bring us together as a community of writers.

The Place

The Creative Campus @ Goddard is a rustic retreat takes place on 200 acres of lush land that was once a dairy farm, then an innovative college, and now a creative campus, which is exploring a variety of ways to embrace sustainability. Nestled on the edge of the tiny village of Plainfield, this bucolic timber and stone campus is the perfect setting for writers who want a relaxed, casual atmosphere to focus on their work in a supportive environment.
