This intimate retreat is planned for Christian Authors and Writers who are currently writing and desiring a chunk of time to plan, think, organize, write and explore their vocation from a biblical perspective.This is not a writer's workshop or a teaching conference, it is a retreat. The schedule encourages focused work, rest, and writer-to-writer inspiration through after dinner discussions of pre-assigned readings. We will explore various topics such as a Christian aesthetic and writing as a vocation (vs. job). Carve out time to take advantage of this atmosphere to get a jump on or continue with your current project(s). Enjoy some personal, quiet reflection spent with the Author of all creativity, who himself is an Author.The retreat is sponsored by the Tuscarora Inn & Conference Center.
The Pines, formerly the Tuscarora Resource Center, will be our home for the week. The sense of place and atmosphere for creativity and contemplation makes The Pines an ideal writer's retreat center. It is located 2 miles from the Conference center. Check out the photo gallery below.
The retreat will be facilitated by authors David & Marcy Alves ofFrontline Ministriesin New England. We will accept a limited number of authors and writers so apply for either our October 2007 or May 2008 retreats when you register.
