The artist Andrew Wyeth once wrote, “I prefer winter … when you feel the bone structure of the landscape. Something waits beneath it, the whole story doesn’t show.” 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. Earthshine Lodge has been offering writing retreats for six years now. The remote location and beautiful setting offer the opportunity to create in a space of peace, quiet, and awe-inspiring natural surroundings. 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. This is your time—this itinerary is optional  and time spent with your host or other writers is by choice. The scheduled sessions are available but not required.
