If you’ve long dreamed of experiencing a writers retreat at the famed Ragdale Foundation artists community but couldn’t qualify for a subsidized residency and couldn’t afford the unsubsidized program, you can still get a taste of Ragdale this fall. Story Studio Chicago is offering Writing the Landscape: A Ragdale Retreat September 25th-27th. Patricia Ann McNair, author of The Temple of Air, will lead an intensive, immersive weekend of writing, nature, creative instruction, and inspiration. Workshops will focus on writing the landscape, both interior and exterior. In between sessions, participants can wander the grounds, share meals with fellow writers, and enjoy a quiet place to relax and write.
Registration is now open for Daytime only and overnight spots.
