Writing Retreat in Vermont

MindfulnessWriting
Written By James Crews

I'll be offering a weekend writing retreat at the Robert Frost Stone House in my hometown of Shaftsbury, Vermont this August 3rd and 4th from 9:30-3pm. We'll write and share together in one of Frost's old barns, with a chance to explore the house where he once lived and wrote, and the trails he once walked. Lunch will be provided both days, and if you're looking for a good excuse to come to Vermont this summer, this is it! On one of the days we meet, weather depending, there will be an optional gathering in our gardens here at my home, where my husband Brad will give tours and answer any of your gardening/farming questions! I'm happy to answer any other questions you might have, and here is the sign-up link if you know you'd like to save your place this August. Offered in partnership with the Robert Frost Stone House at Bennington College and limited to 12 participants. For questions, please email: penandplowmedia@gmail.com.
