Retreats & Convenings

Radical Craft Retreats

Our multi-day writing retreats suit writers at different levels of experience and phases in the writing process. With daily workshops led by seasoned teachers from our Hedgebrook alumnae community, participants receive individual feedback from the instructor and curated time to write, whether in-person or virtually. Some retreats are generative and designed to inspire new projects or breakthroughs in your process, while others focus on craft or developing a project already underway.
