July 4th to 10th

What could you create in seven uninterrupted days of writing on the shores of Lake Simcoe?

In July 2011 you have the chance to find out.

Inkslingers returns to the Loretto MaryHolme Retreat Centre (Only an hour from Toronto) for seven days. Each day you will have the entire morning in silence to write.


Each day you will also have the opportunity to submit work to the facilitators for same-day feedback.



Some evenings you will have the opportunity to write in community with other writers.







Some days you may choose to offer gentle feedback to others in the group.


Some evenings you may decide to participate in creating SoulCollage® cards.

And EVERY day you make the decision to support yourself as a writer in whatever way you need the most!

The objective is to leave the retreat exhilarated with what you have accomplished as a writer.

And if having 7 glorious summer days to write, receive feedback and share the writer’s journey isn’t enough incentive, you will be nourished by the signature sumptuous meals of Chef Deborah A. Rankine!

The InkSlingers’ Writing Retreat Location:

Loretto Maryholme is a spirituality centre, a ministry of the Canadian Loretto Sisters with a special focus on the areas of justice, education, and spirituality. Located at Roches Point on a hilltop overlooking Lake Simcoe, this glorious 1870’s historic family estate offers a place to rest and renew yourself.


As you travel down the lane of tall pines and spirea to the spectacular lake view you can feel yourself relaxing into that mindset that inspires great writing.
