HERE'S TO BEING TOGETHER FOR THE RETREAT IN 2022.
Let’s write!
Begun in 2009, North of 45 Retreat for Writers is an all-inclusive weekend retreat that brings writers of all genres and levels of experience together to learn, grow, and share the love of the written word.
The retreat includes workshops, one-on-one sessions, writing time, and a presentation of the North of 45 staff reading from their work.
North of 45 Retreat for Writers at Chamberlin’s Ole Forest Inn, in Curtis, Michigan, is designed to give attendees space and time to write…or not. Four workshops are offered by some of the finest writing instructors anywhere. Come prepared to have the words squeezed out of you. The retreat runs Thursday evening through Sunday noon.
Each year we arrive giddy with a feeling that we’re getting away with something, anticipating a deep soul rest, and knowing that we will be stretched. The time passes too quickly. We leave full, yet thirsty; wanting just a little more.
