VorTEXT Intensives

Our VorTEXT intensive retreats suit writers at different levels of experience and phases in the writing process. The day begins with a chance for community connection during the half-hour Coffee Chat before the live writing workshop via Zoom. Writers are then encouraged and inspired to continue their writing on their own or in accountability groups, and the day wraps with a group share and structured feedback session facilitated by Hedgebrook staff. Writers also enjoy lovingly prepared care packages, mailed to your doorstep.

From the care package that came in the mail, to the community-building opening, to the space that the instructor created and held, to her evocative prompts, to the brilliant writing of my fellow participants, this intensive experience felt sacred, expansive, and inspirational.
