The Times They Are A-Changin': A Men's Writing Retreat Inspired by the Works of Bob Dylan
You’re invited to join us for our annual writing retreat this coming January 19-21, 2024 at the Bergamo Center for Lifelong Learning.
At this year's in-person writing retreat our spirit guide will be the reluctant prophet named Bob Dylan. The retreat is broken up into six writing experiences. Each experience will begin with some inspiration from Bob Dylan's work that leads to a writing prompt. After the writing period, all participants will take part in small council groups. We will share our journey over the course of a full weekend retreat. LEARN MORE & REGISTER
