“Madeleine Mornings” with Sarah Arthur and Sophfronia Scott
Dear ones,
At long last, my colleague Sophfronia Scott and I are pleased to announce that registration is now open for MADELEINE MORNINGS, three virtual mini writing retreats on select Saturdays in 2021-2022!
Inspired by Madeleine L’Engle, these retreats are designed to spark insight, foster connections, deepen your reading, and lend structure to your writing and spiritual life. Facilitated content and group interaction will be interspersed with solo writing time for a rich and generative experience.
We’ll meet via Zoom from 10 AM to 2 PM Eastern on Oct. 16, 2021, Jan. 29, 2022, and May 7, 2022. Each retreat is self-contained but unique so you can attend one or several or all three. If you can’t attend live or wish to watch a given retreat again, registration includes a link to the recording.
The cost is $69 per mini-retreat (nonrefundable), and you can purchase one or several or all three. HERE’S THE FUN PART: The first 50 people to register for all three Madeleine Mornings by Oct 16, 2021 receive 10% off registration for “A Circle of Quiet: The Madeleine L’Engle Writing Retreat” tentatively scheduled for Oct. 7-9, 2022 at Camp Washington, Lakeside CT. Yay!
Want to be among the first to receive this kind of info? Be sure to sign up for our mailing list.
Finally, major thanks to our in-kind sponsor, MadeleineLEngle.com for helping get the word out. We couldn’t do this without your encouragement, wisdom, and support. Any questions, please direct them to [email protected]
Tesser well!
