Fireside Writing Retreat (calling all writers!)
January 9 - January 12

Fireside Writing Retreat
January 9-11, 2026
3 days / 2 nights (additional night available)
Winter is indeed the perfect time to turn inward: to construct or refurbish our creative scaffolding. It’s also a time for quiet and rest–necessary acts of creative care for any artist. We invite you to join the 6th annual writing retreat at Earthshine Lodge. Our goal with this retreat is to offer a private, comfortable, and dedicated space in which to rest, write, and be inspired—and a community of creatives to support and encourage writing progress and goals. Join us with work-in-progress or come to create something new, and plan to be inspired by the crackle of the fire and the icy blue of the winter mountains.
We are lucky to have local writer, Katherine Scott Crawford, hosting the retreat again this year. Coming off of her 2025 book tour for The Miniaturist’s Assistant, she will be available to meet with each guests one on one. Her book will be gifted to each participant as well!
