Well-chosen words and the life of a writer stimulate the imagination and the spirit. Arrive in Lakeside in the afternoon for porch rocking, street walking, and lake gazing to awaken your muse and start writing. After dinner, write from the heart with writing-from-life prompts. On Saturday morning, Deanna Adams, our writer-in-residence for the weekend, will show us how to breathe life into our fiction and non-fiction. Afterwards, Claudia will lead a writing craft workshop based on William Zinsser's On Writing Well. Later in the afternoon, share your words and writing quandaries during our roundtable. At eventide, imagine possibilities for a writing life in an Artist’s Way interlude. Wake up to yoga by the Lake on Sunday morning followed by Deanna’s words of encouragement as we leave the retreat and go out into the world.
Lakeside’s motto—"nurturing mind, body and spirit"—is a perfect description for the focus of our retreat-by-the-lake. Idlewyld Bed & Breakfast is a century home with a big porch, the perfect place for muse chasing, quiet contemplation, listening to and writing words, stimulating conversation, and timeless walks. Friday dinner, Saturday breakfast and lunch, and Sunday breakfast will be served.
