Join 12 other writers for 5 nights at a private lakefront castle in Washington for an intimate, craft-focused immersive retreat. This experience is designed for depth and momentum — with daily sessions on using the Enneagram to strengthen your storytelling, developing psychologically rich characters, building motivation-driven conflict, and making tangible progress on your manuscript in a focused, supportive environment.
*Please note: this is a non-refundable deposit to secure your spot for the retreat. To make this experience more accessible, we’re offering a structured payment schedule. Final installment amounts will be determined by your selection:
$500 non-refundable deposit due March 1, 2026 (when registration opens)
First installment due on May 1, 2026
Second installment due on July 1, 2026
Final installment due on September 1, 2026
While we are delighted to offer a payment plan for those who need it, paying in full by the first payment due date in May helps us secure all excursions and services well in advance, ensuring the best possible experience for your writing retreat. We highly encourage full payment if you are able, but you are more than welcome to opt into the payment plan.
