Memories, ideas, objects, dreams.
Sparks of light. And dark.
Most completed work—no matter the genre or form—starts with an idea, a scene, a memory or a sensation that has been carried and held, sometimes for years.
Make time to shine a light on what’s been there, just waiting for space on one of your blank pages.

We’re returning to Cetara, a quaint and quiet seaside village - away from the hustle and bustle of Amalfi and Positano, but still close enough, just a short ferry ride away, if you decide you need that level of stimulation. Join us May 23 - 30, 2026 for our Signature Key to the Castle Workshop program for writers. Reclaim and nurture your creative voice in a supportive environment with the opportunity to explore painting and other meditative practices to keep the creativity flowing, all while taking in the beauty, charms and flavors of Italy's glorious Amalfi Coast. Friends will be made and gelato will be served. Andiamo!
