Hello writers,

I’m going to base a pair of fall retreats at Wisehart Springs in Paonia, a tiny town that’s my heart’s home and Colorado’s greatest secret.

WHERE?
Wisehart Springs Inn- Paonia, Colorado.

WHEN?
Sun. thru Thurs., Sept. 22-26.
Sat thru Wed., Oct. 5-9.

HOW MUCH?
Total costs will run in the $1,000 to $1,800 range, depending on whether you want to stay in one of Wisehart’s limited number of lovely rooms, book your own stay in a nearby B&B, or camp on the property.

Interested? Contact Me.

These retreats will be a mix of generative writing sessions guided and supported by me, reading aloud, eating delicious meals together, alone time to wander the 40-or-so acres of the horse ranch that’ll serve as our base, explore the small, vibrant town of Paonia, which lies about a mile away, or take an optional longer guided hike up in the golden aspens of the Rocky Mountains.

I’m registering folks for these retreats now!

The nearest airports are in Montrose and Grand Junction, each of them about 90 minutes away. Denver International Airport is about 4 1/2 hours away. You cannot beat this location for otherworldly beauty. Paonia is my favorite place on the planet. When I based here and roamed the world as a travel writer, I’d weep with gratitude when I returned to this beautiful, homey, friendly community.  I’d love to share it with you!
