In unsettled times like ours, it becomes increasingly important for poets and writers to bear witness to the truth so that others can be strengthened and inspired.

"I can honestly say I produced some of my best work on this writer's retreat. It refreshed and invigorated me, cleansed me of the grime building up on my heart and soul." (Roseann Marulli)

But with confusion all around us, how can we make contact with our inner reserves of clarity? How can we access our own creative wellsprings? How can we give what we ain't got? A writing getaway that helps you recharge your battery can be the answer.

"I came away from this writing getaway feeling energized. I learned to respect my own work and loved spending time in a supportive writing community."  (Pamela Small)

The Elizabeth Ayres Center for Creative Writing currently offers two group writing retreats that combine the thrill of a well taught writing workshop, the inspiration of a spectacular landscape, the camaraderie of a writing support group and the guidance of a seasoned writing teacher to give you a creative writing vacation you'll never forget.

We also offer private writing retreats.  Stay at the Writer's Guest Suite at Imago House, where you can hunker down with pen or keyboard in a PRIVATE BEDROOM, PRIVATE STUDY OVERLOOKING THE WATER AND PRIVATE BATH.  As well as other amenities.  Please check it out by clicking here.

"The retreat for writers helped me remove a few roadblocks that were keeping me from my writing, to which I now have a new commitment. Since returning from this inspiring getaway for writers, my creative batteries are recharged and I've been working on the outline for my next novel." (JoAnn Muller)
