» SWG Facilitated Retreat
The SWG holds a Facilitated Retreat each November at St. Peter’s Abbey in Muenster, Saskatchewan. At the SWG Facilitated Retreat, as well as undisturbed writing time, the Writer-In-Residence will give an introductory talk on an aspect of writing, provide one hour of one-on-one discussion for feedback on your writing and/or answers to your writing-related questions, and join in with informal discussion at mealtimes with the other participants. The Facilitated Retreat is designed as a time for you to focus on the writing you would like to do and to gain encouragement and motivation by interacting with the Writer-In-Residence and your fellow participants. The cost is $200 per person and includes a private room and all meals, as well as access to the Writer-In-Residence as described above.
To apply, applicants (19 years and older) must submit an example of the writing they will be working on at the retreat, a paragraph or two describing their writing experience, and a paragraph about why they want to attend the SWG Facilitated Retreat. Payment for the registration fee can be made by PayPal (on SWG website), credit card (over the phone) or cheque and sent with the completed application form.Preference will be given to SWG members who have not published a book and who have never attended any of the SWG retreats. A maximum of twelve participants will be accepted.
