Join us for a transformative two-day Winter Solstice Writing Retreat. This retreat is designed to help writers overcome the winter slump and reignite their creative spark. Through a series of inspiring workshops and timed writing exercises, participants will learn to harness the unique inspiration of winter, set achievable goals, and develop sustainable writing routines. With guided sessions on overcoming creative blockages and integrating seasonal sensory details, writers will find renewed motivation and direction for their projects. The retreat offers opportunities for reflection, connection, and relaxation. Leave with practical tools, a personalized writing plan, and a supportive network of fellow writers to keep the momentum going long after the retreat. Rediscover the joy of writing this winter and let your creativity shine.

The program is made possible in part by Indiana Humanities and the Indiana Authors Awards:
Indiana Humanities connects people, opens minds and enriches lives by creating and facilitating programs that encourage Hoosiers to think, read and talk. Learn more at www.IndianaHumanities.org.
The Eugene and Marilyn Glick Indiana Authors Awards honor the best books written by Indiana authors. Awarded every two years, they celebrate Indiana writers, shine a light on the Hoosier state’s literary community and deepen connections between Indiana writers and readers. They were established in 2009 as a vision of Eugene and Marilyn Glick and are a component of Indiana Humanities’ rich and diverse literary programming.
