Women Writing for Change Retreat
Sept. 2-Oct. 3, 2020 (SOLD OUT)
Lake Junaluska, North Carolina
The beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains are the perfect backdrop for listening to your inner voice of inspiration and answering the call to write.
There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.
~ Maya Angelou

You’ll enjoy inspiring literary explorations and experiential writing.
Quiet time will allow you to reconnect with your inner voice and explore the desires of your soul.
You’ll experience the sheer joy of putting words on the page.
Each retreat is hosted and facilitated by women who are also writers and, thus, understand the unique needs of both new and experienced authors.
Supportive and trusted guidance is always provided.
Opening our hearts to the stories asking to be told requires a safe atmosphere, free from judgment and expectations—you are assured of this among our groups.
At the retreat, you’ll join an uplifting community of like-minded women writers, learning and growing together.
Most women come to the retreat not knowing other attendees, but leave with strong and lasting connections to one another.

I was so impressed with the talents of every single person around the writer’s table and most especially the energy that our retreat brought to us as individuals and as a group. I’m so excited that we’re all starting the year with renewed energy to make our goals a reality . . . getting together and feeding off of one another’s ideas, talents, and energies has made a significant and exciting difference for me. I’m rolling along, slowly but surely, working hard to maintain my goal of spending time with my story every single day. I do feel very confident that I can make this happen.”
Both beginning and experienced women writers can find the right fit at one of our writing retreats.
