From September 6-10, I was incredibly fortunate to travel to the absolutely gorgeous Elbow Lake Lodge in Cook, MN to attend the LoonSong Writer’s Retreat. I made some fantastic friends, learned from the brilliant faculty, and got to breathe in the beauty of nature, wisdom, and words. If you are at creator at any stage in the process, be sure to check out this retreat for 2019! You can find more information here. In the meantime, check out these photos and you’ll get a glimpse of what I’m talking about.
