Faculty Writing Retreats

“Write-On-Site Retreats”

These retreats provide a space and time for you to focus on your writing. Often, the sessions will consist of directed writing time (“Pomodoros”), to encourage you to stay on track, as well as opportunities to share your progress and frustrations with your fellow writers.

This type of retreat is usually offered in the summer.

“Facilitated Retreats”

These retreats are led by Dr. Monique Dufour, a Faculty Fellow and experienced retreat facilitator. Facilitated retreats provide tools for a realistic, sustainable writing practice, create space for you to make progress on a project, and nurture a writing community.

This type of retreat is usually offered over winter session, for a limited number of participants.

“Virtual Retreats”

Virtual retreats meet over Zoom, and may be in either a write-on-site or facilitated format. Most often, these retreats are 2-hour blocks of directed writing time (“Pomodoros”), held twice a day, in morning and afternoon.

This type of retreat is usually offered over fall break and spring break.
