21st Annual Lac Café Retreat, September 11-13, 2026, Rawdon, QC

A women’s writing weekend (non-binary writers welcome), open to experienced writers of fiction, nonfiction, poetry and all in-between genres. The retreat is designed to help you bring what you are writing into alignment with what wants to be written, for the sake of all creation. In a quiet natural setting by a pristine lake, we will open ourselves to whatever wants to speak through us, in conscious alliance with both nonhuman and human intelligences. As our deepest knowing often shows up in our dreams, we will begin each day with dreamwork.
We’ll be staying in chalets beside a small lake in a quiet wooded area ten minutes north of Rawdon, which is just over an hour north of Montreal. There will be time off in the afternoon for hiking, boating, swimming. Vegetarian meals will be shared in the main cabin. Cost for the weekend is $300 Can which includes a single room and meals. Cost is lower for shared rooms and tenting.
If interested please send statement of interest and writing sample (no more than 10 pages) to lweil22@gmail.com
