Calling all college and university faculty: Are you in need of time and space in which to write? Are you having trouble meeting writing deadlines? Has Covid life and the shake-up in your teaching schedules and format–i.e. all of us, at home, all the time–made it near to impossible to make headway on important papers and projects? Do you have grants and/or other funds allocated for conferences, retreats, workshops, and professional development, which must be used by a certain time?

Come join us in the beautiful Western North Carolina mountains at one-of-a-kind Earthshine Lodge for our Spring Academic Writing Retreat, April 13 – 15, 2021.  

At Earthshine, you’ll have comfortable, private, and dedicated space in which to write–and a community of faculty to support and encourage writing progress and goals. It’s a 3-day, immersive retreat which includes dedicated writing time, professional workshops, and opportunities to connect with your fellow academics. Otherwise known as: folks in your boat.

There’s also yoga, guided hikes, nature time, meditation, and rocking chairs looking out over a rolling mountain view as old as time. Best of all, everything on the schedule is optional: this is your time.

I’ll be your Guest Host for the retreat, and I couldn’t be happier. Earthshine is a unique spot, and I can’t wait to help you take advantage of everything it has to offer. I’m a recovering academic, former adjunct professor, and a writer myself, so I also know that what you need most of all is quiet time. Let’s meet on the mountain!
