Please join us at the Benedictine Hospitality Center for a calming and inspiring three nights and four days of writing, relaxing, fellowship of other writers, and sharing stories. We will travel to beautiful Ferdinand, Indiana to stay at the retreat center of the Sisters of St. Benedict. Our retreat will include 4 group circles, and ample free time to explore the grounds and town, find quiet spots to think, write, read, draw or enjoy each other’s company.

The town and grounds have many lovely nooks and crannies to explore and we will have access to a private swimming pool and of course delicious food. (8 meals total—dinner on Thursday to breakfast on Sunday. The facilitator will contact you to ask about dietary needs.)

A women’s writing retreat is a special time for you to connect with yourself and with other women who share a love of words, stories and poetry. It is relaxing and invigorating! You will make some good friends and be able to dive in deep to whatever you are working on or begin a new hobby for yourself! Please join us and gift yourself the time and space for creativity and connection.

Contact Amy Cornell acornell@iu.edu  for questions or to inquire about carpooling.

All adult (18+) women, including women who are trans or non-binary, are welcome.

Minimum number of participants is 8; maximum is 10 in single rooms, or 16 in double rooms.  Register early to reserve your place!

Double rooms: If you’d like to share a room, you’ll need to find your own roommate, and they need to register for the retreat as well.  Both of you, please share your roommate’s name in the “comments” field during checkout.  Your place in the retreat will be confirmed when both deposits are paid.
