We are thrilled to announce that Pat will be returning in fall of 2013 from the evening of October 20th to after lunch on October 25th. This retreat will consist of writing with Pat for four hours every morning. The rest of the day is given over to each retreatant continuing to write, read, relax, walk, meditate or whatever needs to be done to support your writer’s soul, in community with other writers.

A manuscript may be sent ahead of time for one on one consultation with AWA facilitator Sue Reynolds who will be aiding and supporting Pat during the retreat.

This autumn the Pat Schneider Writing Retreat, hosted by Inkslingers/GoForWords, is being held at the beautiful West Wind Inn on Buckhorn Lake about 1.5 hours northeast of Toronto.

Owned and operated by two generations of the Jensen family since 1991, the well established Westwind Inn is located near the country village of Buckhorn, Ontario. Situated in a truly spectacular setting of natural wilderness in the Kawartha Lakes region, this 60 acre private country estate possesses charm and privacy.

Each room has a private fireplace and comfy sitting area. Single rooms have a couch, double rooms have a deep easy chair.

The dining area overlooks the lake.
