One year of bird omens: a winter writing retreat

Join us for a cozy weekend in the mountains to focus on your writing life. Trust that there will be roaring fires, snowy trails, hot chocolate, candlelight, good food, and lots of quiet. We will offer some brief prompts and rituals throughout the days to nudge the imagination and then offer spacious hours for your own writing practice. 

This retreat is for word-lovers, storytellers, and writers in the most expansive sense of the word. Bring a project you are working on or blank pages that have been calling to you. 

One year ago as we prepared for the inauguration, we learned that the root word of inauguration was “to take omens from the flight of birds.” So, at Kirkridge we’ve been listening to red tailed hawks, hummingbirds, and blue herons. As we mark this year, we invite you to join us in writing while drawing on the inspiration of the bird friends here on the mountain. Let the cardinals and tufted titmouses and juncos welcome you to this forest for rest, nourishment, and writing.
