― Rainer Maria Rilke

Escape from your daily distractions and focus on your writing

RECHARGE is a small in-person workshop and retreat tucked away in the foothills of eastern Pennsylvania’s Pocono mountains that provide plentiful writing time in a setting that will nurture your soul and inspire your creative spirit. Discover a sense of renewal and reawakening. Experience abundant time not only to write, but also to participate in guided trail walks, to enjoy coffee on the patio, to relax and to work on your own.

“The comments I received on my poems were perceptive, generous, and helpful. I can back feeling it was more
than worth it, especially considering that the retreat included yoga, wine at evening meals, the critique session
and all those writing materials.” Linda
