CELTSS Writing Retreat
Wednesday, May 24, 2023, 9:00 - 3:00p.m.
CELTSS is pleased to announce that we will be offering a one-day writing retreat on Wednesday, May 24th at the Warren Center in Ashland on a first-applied, first-admitted basis. Lunch and refreshments will be served. The day will involve unstructured writing time as well as opportunities to meet one-on-one with a writing coach and options to discuss works-in-progress with peers.
Dr. Jennifer de Leon and Dr. Belinda Walzer will serve as writing coaches. Jenn is an Assistant Professor in English at Framingham State University and Belinda is an Assistant Professor in English at Appalachian State University and a former Director of the Writing Center at Northeastern University.
Click here to complete the online application by Wednesday, April 19th if you wish to participate: https://forms.gle/zd8qacCkonseFTWP9. We expect places to fill up quickly and will notify participants by Wednesday, April 26th.
Colleagues will attest that it is a great opportunity to jump start a project, clear the cobwebs from the brain, or advance a project on the back burner. It doesn't have to be all writing either; sometimes it's just thinking or sharing your ideas with the facilitator."

At Duxbury, everyone is very respectful of quiet time and individual spaces. There are places to escape to as well if you need alone time. There's a private beach for walking and even some brave individuals who take the plunge in May. Bedtimes seemed mostly staggered according to individuals' own clocks, and although we share rooms, I never felt weird about that, and I'm pretty private. Most people got up before me so when I got up, I would find coffee in the pot. One night meal making is easy and basic with some surprising innovators out there. Dessert is included! And there were always leftovers to take home. You can bring your own alcohol (liquor store nearby), but teetotalers are welcome, too."
