2024 Weekend Writeaway

Our first was in 2014, with subsequent retreats yearly until 2019. 2020's retreat was canceled due to COVID. 2024 is the first retreat since the pandemic, reinstated by request! :-)

Past retreats have been held in Newark, OH, and Milford, OH. We moved the retreat to Loyola because they have more to offer, such as private rooms for all guests and all meals. The goal is to keep the retreat affordable without compromising quality.

August 1, but the sooner you register, the better because it is always possible that we will end registration early to ensure that the guest count will maintain the intimacy of the retreat.

Nope. We will have fellowship time for sharing, where guests may get tips and suggestions from one another, but overall, this retreat is non-instructional and self-directed. Guests should come prepared to focus on their projects(s) over the weekend.

Tranquility and time to focus on you! We put the responsibilities of caregiving, work, ministry, and much more over our own needs, neglecting things we enjoy. This weekend, you won't have to worry about anything, not even what to eat!

Sure! If you want to come and sleep the entire weekend, you have that right! Some past attendees have used this as a reading weekend. The time is yours to spend as you please. We only ask that you avoid bringing noisy habits.

With all due respect to the male writers, this retreat is for females due to the close proximity we will be with one another. We're housed under one roof, and often, we may walk around in pajamas or other non-public-friendly clothing. The goal is for everyone to be comfortable.

You will need to complete the registration form to ensure we have your emergency contact and any dietary restrictions. You'll receive an email with a link to the form within two business days of paying via Eventbrite.
