Retreat!

I am entering a new phase of my Odyssey today. After a week of heading south and exploring the Smokies area, I am going back north on the Blue Ridge Parkway to the Wildacres Retreat Center. It is a magical remote gathering spot on a mountaintop near the village of Little Switzerland, NC.

For the next week, 50 serious writers will do some serious writing during the day and some serious partying at night. In the morning, I'll be leading meditation before breakfast. I'm really looking forward to it all.

After that, there will be a week of workshops with about 100 writers and half a dozen distinguished instructors. Both weeks include student readings in the evenings. It just doesn't get any better than that.
