Join us for a luxurious 3–day, 3–night writing retreat in the hills of Southern Indiana where we will enjoy the gifts of writing in community and the Benedictine Hospitality Center. Participants will have private accommodations and access to the beautiful grounds. We will have free time to write, writing circles with the community, opportunities for small group discussions, craft activities, swimming and a few other surprises.

Contact Amy Cornell acornell@iu.edu  for questions or to inquire about carpooling.

All adult (18+) women and nonbinary people are welcome.

Minimum number of participants is 8; maximum is 10 in single rooms, or 16 in double rooms.  Register early to reserve your place!

Double room details:

• There are a limited number of double rooms; register early for best results.
• You’ll need to find your own roommate, and they need to register for the retreat as well.
• Each of you should note your roommate’s name in the “comments” field during checkout.
• Your places in the retreat will be confirmed when both deposits are paid.

Retreat payment policy:

Your paid deposit holds your place in the retreat; the balance of your tuition is due June 30, 2025.

A registration with an unpaid deposit or a past-due balance may be “bumped” by a paid registration from the waiting list (any paid deposit will not be refunded).

The withdrawal deadline for this retreat is June 30, 2025.

For a withdrawal before the withdrawal deadline, we will refund the amount paid, minus the $150 deposit.

For a withdrawal after the withdrawal deadline, the amount refunded will be the amount paid, minus the following:

• Deposit ($150)
• Late withdrawal fee ($50)
• Venue fee for unused room/meal reservation (varies by venue)

Emergency relief:

• If you need to withdraw due to an emergency, such as a death in the family or a major illness, and losing the deposit would be a serious hardship for you, please contact the Registrar with an explanation and we will do what we can.
