Join me for a CNF Writing Retreat in Austria this Summer!
Sonya Huber and I will be leading a generative workshop in the beautiful Austrian Alps
I'm excited to announce that Sonya Huber and I will be hosting a six day generative writing workshop in Austria next summer, from June 15-21! This workshop will focus on voice, exploring the exercises and ideas from Sonya's new book, Voice First: A Writer's Manifesto. We will begin every morning with a two hour generative workshop, and you will have your afternoons free to write or explore the area. In the evenings, you'll have an opportunity to meet one-on-one with each of the workshop leaders to either discuss work you already have in progress or work you're generating at the workshop.
Each participant will have their own bedroom and private bath in this gorgeous chalet. If you'd like to bring a partner who won't be attending the workshop to make it more of a holiday, we can accommodate that for a small extra fee.
The area offers many opportunities for enjoying the natural beauty of the region, including hiking, swimming, bike tours, and even hang gliding. Or you can sit outside on one of the many balconies with your notebook and let the view of the Alps inspire your work.
The retreat includes:
Five days of generative workshops.
Two one-hour, one-on-one meetings with each of the workshop leaders to discuss your work.
A simple breakfast (local breads and pastries, coffee, tea, oats, granola, yogurt, fresh fruit, cold meats) every morning.
Dinner on the first and last nights of the retreat.
All the natural beauty you could hope for in a serene setting.
The cost is $1250 (we wanted to keep it low enough to be accessible), and you can bring a partner who will share your room (but not participate in the workshop) for another $400.
If you would like to apply, please send an 8-10 page writing sample to voicefirstinaustria@gmail.com. We will be gathering applications for the next several weeks, and will get back to those people selected as soon as we possibly can.
Very interested!!!
