We invite creative spirits of all levels and genres to enjoy a magical week of wonderment. There are no criteria for acceptance other than a desire to discover. The days will include a mix of writing, movement in the form of dance and stretching, sharing, short excursions, and discussions about craft. The writing sessions will inspire you to tap into new ideas, awaken your powers of observation, and strengthen your voice.
Everyone needs to recharge, restore, and retreat now and then,
and what better place than Italy?
The Journey is the Destination
Often called the Lake of Dreams, magical Lago Maggiore is the perfect backdrop for a date with your creative self. Lush and colorful exotic plants garland its shoreline, snowcapped alpine peaks majestically rise from the azure water, ancient castle ruins whisper secrets from rocky islets that appear just offshore. This is a land of fantasy and mystery—truly a place to fire the imagination.
