February. Cold and damp. Bare and bound with icy wind. We wait for spring. And yet, February is a month of love. Valentine’s Day comes mid-month and we’re all heart-focused and light. We celebrate love!
Here at Rockvale Writers’ Colony, we love words. We love writers, of course, but we also love readers. Without readers, there is little reason to write. We’re inviting readers to the colony for an all-inclusive weekend of coziness, warmth, and books. There are no workshops or responsibilities; only a time to snuggle up in one of our beautiful suites and treat yourself to the luxury of rest and reading. And if you want to write a little bit too, that’s perfectly ok with us!
You bring the books you want to read. We’ve got everything else! Participants will stay in private bedroom/bathroom suites and will have access to common spaces such as the library, reading room, and writing porch. If they wish, participants can hike within the 65 acres of colony property, explore the winter gardens, and visit the horses in the south field. All meals and snacks are provided.
Cost: $250.00 per person (includes 2 nights in a private suite, 5 meals, snacks, optional guided hike, lots of quiet time for reading)
