Daycation

Today is Daycation! There will be no Sit & Write session today.

Daycation (deposit)
$50.00

Registration is closed as of Friday, 3/27. Contact me to inquire about last minute availability.

OVERVIEW

Saturday, 5/9/25
10:00am – 9:00pm
In-person

Join the Collective Lit community for a day-long writing retreat just outside of Philadelphia at a retreat center in scenic Delaware County, PA. Adult writers of all experience levels are welcome.

Bring a work-in-progress, or start something new. We’ll open with a brief grounding exercise and meet & greet, then spend most of the day writing or reading in friendly silence. After lunch, we’ll go for a walk and do some more writing. After dinner, we’ll have an optional group discussion about rejection, followed by a supportive sharing circle and closing remarks.

Please note that there is no overnight component to this event — you may choose to extend your stay, but you’ll have to coordinate directly with the venue.

COST

$100 – $300 sliding scale. The cost you will see at check-out is a non-refundable $50 deposit. I will invoice you for the remainder once I know how much you wish to pay.

The bottom of the sliding scale ($100) is for low-income individuals, covering your share of the food and venue, as well as $10-20 of compensation for me, depending on how many people register. I am trusting you to pay as much as you can reasonably afford.

Your ticket includes all your food, snacks, and (nonalcoholic) drinks for the day — learn more below.

DETAILS

I will share the exact location of our retreat after you RSVP. Please scroll down to learn more about this event. It’s important to read everything so we can all be on the same page.
