Give Yourself Permission: A Restorative Winter Retreat for Writers — Fall 2027


  • The Fairmont Château Le Frontenac 1 Rue des Carrières Québec, QC, G1R 5J5 Canada (map)

Give Yourself Permission to 
Reflect. Restore. Create.
A Glimpse Into Your Journey

Wed, November 3 — Mon, November 8, 2027

Join Kathy, Pat, and Angela in this historic, dare we say, Castle, situated on the St. Lawrence River in Quebec City for a Winter Retreat for Writers.

In the Quebec City Generative Writing Sessions, Pat and Kathy aim to demystify the writing process and offer writers time and space to look both inward and outward, a chance to see where paying attention - to body, mind and soul - leads. Each morning gathering has a different theme and Angela warms the group up with gentle seated yoga, breath practice and guided meditation.

The Fairmont Château Le Frontenac, Quebec City, Canada

Standing high on a bluff overlooking the mighty St. Lawrence River, Fairmont Le Château Frontenac is not merely a hotel located in the heart of Old Québec - it is the heart of it.
