Spring Break Writer's Retreat March 22 - 28th

Yep - it's camp for grown-ups!

Seven-day writing workshop & retreat at Stewart Mineral Springs in Northern California



Spend a week writing and attending daily writing workshop with Ariel Gore in the spectacular Trinity Mountains of Shasta National Forest.

Here's the plan:
Sunday, March 22 - Arrive at Stewart Mineral Springs in the beautiful Trinity Mountains of Shasta National Forest, get settled into your room, meet Ariel and your fellow writers for an evening quick-write, and share a vegetarian dinner.

Monday - Friday March 23rd through 27th - Writing workshops will be held each morning from 10 a.m. to Noon. We'll produce new material, workshop stories you've come with or stories you've begun to craft here in the mountains. You'll have the afternoon to write, hike, swim in the creek, and sweat in the sauna. We'll share three simple, hearty vegetarian meals each day.

Saturday, March 28. We'll have breakfast together-- and end the week by joining the sacred sweat lodge purification ceremony on the grounds of Stewart Mineral Springs at 1 p.m.




One Writer - $650 - Price includes all writing workshops, six nights lodging in a shared room (bring a friend or bunk with another writer), unlimited sauna use, vegetarian dinner on Sunday, three hearty vegetarian meals per day on the weekdays, breakfast on Saturday, and Native American sweat lodge on Saturday.
$200 deposit saves your spot


Writer's Companion - $380 - Companion rate includes six nights lodging in a shared room, unlimited sauna use, all meals, and Native American sweat lodge on Saturday. (No writing workshops).
$100 deposit saves your spot



Mineral soaks and massages cost a little extra. Stewart Mineral Springs is 350 miles south of Portland, Oregon and 280 miles north of San Francisco -- near Weed, California.

Ariel, dear, where is the link to your RSS feed? I can't subscribe if the link is nowhere to be found. Under the current circumstances, I would argue that few others will be able to subscribe, either.

It's a great place- I go a few times a year to camp, use the sauna and sweat.

Very kid friendly but no formal "play area" and they would needs supervision because of the creek.

It is a peaceful beautiful spot about an hour south of Ashland, OR. Someone could also fly into Medford or Redding.
