Participants will immerse themselves in the craft of writing, connect with other writers, and hear from authors through readings and workshops.
Join novelist and playwright, Fran Kimmel, as she welcomes participants. 
Author Katherine Koller will give you The Short Story on Short Stories: In this workshop, we will all begin plans for a new short story, or develop plans for an existing one. Short stories have a drive, a need, and heat that ends in change. We will listen for the call of the story, follow the heat, and chase the drive with time to test out mini-techniques on structure, character and dialogue. 
Delve into Writing with the Five Senses with Author Rayanne Haines: We experience the world around us through our senses, and they are how we navigate place, identify danger, seek stimulation, and form the memories through which our identities take shape. Translating rich sensory details onto the page enables writers to inhabit their characters and stories in ways that offer three dimensional, truthful experiences for the readers. And isn’t that what we strive for as authors in non-fiction and fiction? To make our worlds come to life? In this workshop we explore writing taste, sight, smell, touch and sound to create descriptions that will stay with your reader and improve your writing skills
Time will be set aside after each workshop for self-guided writing. Participants can stretch their legs and explore the facility and yard to find their perfect place to write. Writing prompts will be available to anyone needing inspiration.
Participants will be guided through a brief sound meditation, cleansing their palettes before breaking for lunch (provided).
The day will end with an opportunity to share some work and last thoughts.
Full schedule (times may be adjusted slightly, finalized timelines will be sent out prior to the retreat)

Praise for Rag Pickers by Blaine Newton: 
"Polished, often startling stories that come at you sideways, gathering force and momentum. Edgy and smart." —Jeanette Lynes, author of The Apothecary’s Garden
 
"I found myself re-reading these stunningly clever, and heartbreaking, and poignant stories and asking myself more than a few times – ‘How the hell did he do that?’" —Thomas Trofimuk, author of Waiting for Columbus and The Elephant on Karlův Bridge
 
Praise for Catch You on the Flipside by Lee Kvern:
“Current, urgent and utterly convincing, Catch You on the Flipside ties corrupt, Marcos-era Philippines to boom-bust Calgary of the early 1980s. Lee Kvern’s authentic, vividly drawn characters prove that everyone, peon or potentate, has an unexpected Side B.” — Richard Cumyn, author of This Lark of Stolen Time
 “Catch You On The Flipside is an international thriller that deftly draws together an assassination in Manila, the staff at a Calgary casino, and a stalked barista. The fresh deck of characters includes famous politicians, unlucky baggage handlers, nefarious gun toters, smoke show redheads, and idiosyncratic casino regulars. In crisp inimitable prose that shows she knows when to hold ‘em and when to fold ‘em, Lee Kvern deals round after round of suspense and asks: “If a butterfly flapped its wings in Calgary, would it set off a storm in the Philippines?” — Barb Howard, author of Happy Sands
