The Lakehouse Writing Retreat 2024 Full
Join us Oct 18 and 19 2024
Rekindle your creative spirit on this unique and affordable writing getaway.
Think of it as an affair with your muse – sneaking off from daily life into a charming setting, with uninterrupted time for writing, plenty of great food, and hanging out with kindred creative folks.
Location: The Lakehouse, Little Shuswap, BC (near Chase BC)
Accommodation:
- The Lakehouse: a large home on Little Shuswap Lake with many cozy writing and relaxing spaces including:
- a huge deck overlooking the lake with a fireplace (and additional heat if we need it)
- hot tub
- large living room spaces with comfy couches
- a dock and kayaks
- a fantastic dining space for our delectable meals and mini workshops.
- a slot machine, of all things!
- (I think we could have a great game of hide and seek in this lakehouse.)
- There are seven bedrooms that come in a variety of shapes and sizes (including one that has a two person bunk and one with bunks for 4 people.) Two rooms have ensuites, and there are two other bathrooms to share.
The meals! Blair Acton, our host from our Squilax Retreats, will join us at the Lakehouse. She serves up the most delicious and creative meals and can adapt to required meal plans if we are notified in advance. Your stay includes lunch and dinner on Friday, breakfast, lunch and dinner on Saturday, and breakfast on Sunday.
Hosted by Janet Whitehead – a lifelong advocate for the creative soul and a professionally certified creativity coach with 17 years experience. Mini creativity breaks will keep you inspired and having fun, plus give you tricks and tools to keep your creative process going once you are home again. Plenty of writing resources and unique prompts will be available. As well, Janet is happy to chat with you if you like, to help you find your best ways to get to your creative projects more often. You can learn more about Janet on the About page.
This is a laid-back relaxed event – you could wear your pyjamas all weekend if you wanted to! (It’s been a thing in our previous retreats) Bring a swim suit for the hot tub.
Fee: $280 includes accommodation, meals, and surprise writerly-related treasures.
(There will be a reduced rate if our single rooms fill up and you are willing to share a bunkbed room with others.)
