Need a Little Retreat?
There is space at an upcoming retreat on Bowen Island... come if you can!
Hi Writers!
If you have space on your calendar Dec 6-8, and feel like you could really use a moment to step back from everything and take a breath…
… consider joining me at Rivendell on Bowen Island.
Details
Who: You will mostly be on your own, but there will be opportunities to connect with others. There are a group of us who have booked the whole lodge together, but we have no programming other than a potluck dinner Saturday. There is prayer in the sanctuary every morning and evening that you are welcome to join. A handful of us are writers. I will be writing on my retreat.
What: You have a room of your own with a bathroom. There are wonderful and quiet common spaces including a library, kitchen (bring your own groceries), music room, fireplaces, and grounds with a labyrinth. You can stay at Rivendell or walk into town to visit the shops, restaurants, and galleries. There is a lake with a nice hiking trail, but it’s farther so you’d need to drive.
Where: The Rivendell Retreat Centre on Bowen Island is a quick ferry ride from the Horseshoe Bay terminal from Vancouver. Most people drive. You can go across as a foot passenger (I usually do) but be warned that it is a bit of a hike up the hill (with all your stuff) to the retreat centre on the other side.
When: Dec 6-8
How: Send me a direct message and we’ll sort out the details. No one should be prevented from taking retreat if finances are a barrier. The suggested rate is $100 per person per night, but pay what you can.
We have a few rooms left, so feel free to invite a friend.
I know I totally dropped off putting videos here! I haven’t stopped… I will be back.
Anyway, I thought of a few of you who I know would love this place (I’ve been several times) and really benefit from a visit if you can make it.
Just DM me. You are welcome, yes you are.
