JOIN US MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND, 2024
Dear Colleagues,
Michelle Rivera-Clonch, Ph.D. and Nic Flores, Ph.D. invite you to the 13th annual Writing in Depth: An Academic Writing Retreat in partnership with Hope Springs Institute. This 3 night/4 day retreat will provide a context in which you will do some serious academic writing, reflect on your writing practices, and establish systems of accountability in regional working groups that will aid in your movement toward completing the writing project.
This primarily self-directed retreat is designed to focus on your writing and NOT on professional development. It is intended to give you space and support to reinvigorate your writing process and to reconnect you with a community of writers during a time when one can feel alienated and isolated.

Imagine being able to devote 4 days to your writing project without any distractions...
Which part of your writing project could benefit from your undivided attention?
Here are 10 unique things about Writing in Depth: An Academic Writing Retreat
that will support you in your writing...
1. No one will interrupt your writing flow....no pets, neighbors, phone calls, family members, or friends.
2. You don't have to cook for yourself or others! Hope Springs' committed staff cooks three *delicious* (we're not kidding!) home-made meals a day for you. Snacks, coffee, and teas are available 24/7 in the Dining Room.
3. Your dietary needs will be accommodated. Hope Springs specializes in providing "food that is full of love, nutrition, beauty and satisfies body and soul."
4. You don't have to clean up after yourself or others! Let Hope Springs take care of you!
5. Television and internet surfing won't eat up your time.
6. Are you a Night Owl? or an Early Bird? No problem. You decide your own writing schedule.
7. Whether you are a solitary writer or a writer who likes to bounce ideas off of others, this retreat accommodates all writing processes, styles, and needs.
8. Do you find inspiration from nature? Hope Springs sits on 130 acres of beautiful Northeastern Deciduous Forest.
9. Need time to dwell with ideas? Hope Springs has a labyrinth, meditation circle, and outdoor fire pit in the lower meadow; ridge trails, walking trails, and guided hikes into the ravine; ponds and streams; art supplies; yoga supplies; and more to support your writing process.
10. Want a little more adventure? Hope Springs is less than a half hour from Serpent Mound - the largest and finest serpent effigy in the United States. Nearly a quarter of a mile long, Serpent Mound represents an uncoiling serpent. Many who come here build in a visit to this ancient mound.
